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.
