Emerald Basil Oil

Basil adds a little fiber, while olive oil provides most of the fat; basil gives the oil a fresh aroma, while olive oil forms its base. Brief blanching helps preserve the vivid color, and thorough drying keeps the texture smooth. Refrigerate for no more than 4 days.

Have a bowl of ice water ready for cooling. Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan and blanch the basil (50 g) for exactly 10 seconds.

Immediately transfer the basil to the ice water for about 2 minutes. Drain and dry them thoroughly so no excess water remains.

Place the basil in a blender, add the olive oil (137 g), and blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth and vividly green.

Strain the oil through a fine sieve. Cool and transfer it to a clean covered container.
