in regard to pesto, i have a strange sounding advice - if using food processor, freeze the basil leaves first.
i tested it, and it's true - the texture is noticeably better when the leaves were frozen, vs fresh.
of course i was too lazy to use mortar and pestle, which supposedly is the best method and you don't need to freeze anything.

The only good ones that I ever got were home grown ones from Kandal Province. Fairly hard to come by now, as I hear that they don't get a good price for them when they tried to sell them, so a lot of former growers grow pumpkins instead.Miguelito wrote:Is there anywhere to find any tomatoes in country that actually have some flavor? Good be a great match with this basil.
