Pot
Bowl
Food processor
Sieve
Starting by making the basil oil- blanch the basil for 30 seconds.
Transfer to iced water to stop the cooking. Leave in the iced water for 2-3 minutes.
Drain and squeeze any excess liquid from the leaves.
In a food processor/blender, combine the blanched basil, olive oil, and salt. Blend until homogeneous.
Pass through a fine sieve a couple of times. Store in a closed bottle; better to keep it in the fridge.
YASSS!
