Basil Pesto and Herb Tips

Chop any left-over herbs finely and pack into ice cube trays with a little water. You can then put into lock top bags and just add direct to soups, sauces or stews when you want herbs to add flavour.

Ingredients

  • Basil
  • Broccoli (tender is best)
  • Garlic
  • A little oil

Method

Stretch expensive basil by whizzing it with just tender broccoli, garlic, and a little oil to make a pesto style sauce perfect for pasta.

Top Tip

Take the big pots of herbs from supermarkets and separate into smaller pots for your windowsill.

They are made up of lots of small seedlings and will thank you for giving them more room by growing well.
