Ingredients
- 2 cups basil tightly packed, fresh
- lemon zest finely grated, from 3 medium lemons
- 1 cup sunflower oil or other neutral flavored oil
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a medium size pot of water to a boil. Add basil leaves and cook for 30 seconds. Quickly drain basil and rinse with cold water to stop cooking process.
- Wring as much water as you can out of the basil by squeezing it in your hand, then wrap basil in several thickness of paper towels and squeeze again.
- Add basil, lemon zest and sunflower oil to a blender container and blend for 1 minute until mixture is finely pureed.
- Pour mixture into a small saucepan and add olive oil. Heat on medium high heat for 1-2 minutes, just until mixture begins to bubble slightly at the edges. Do not boil!
- Pour mixture through a fine-mesh strainer (the finer, the better) into a jar or storage container.
- Store in refrigerator for 1-2 weeks or freeze in small containers for 3-4 months.
