Basil Bounty

I'm joining all the hungry people over at Designs By Gollum for another episode of Foodie Friday.

Bring your favorite recipes or food to share!

A great book with ideas for using the over abundance of herbs from your garden is

Flavored Oils: 50 Recipes for Cooking with Infused Oils by Michael Chiarello 

Balsamic Basil Vinaigrette

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 tsp finely chopped garlic

2 tsp finely chopped scallions (include some of the green tops)

or you can use shallots

1 cup basil-infused olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Whisk together vinegar, garlic and onions in a small bowl. Whisk

in basil oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keeps up to

four days refrigerated in a tightly sealed container.

Thanks for coming by and I hope to see you again next week

with our hostess Michael Lee for another Foodie Friday.
