Basil Oil - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 liter virgin olive oil
2 cups shredded fresh basil

Preparation

Wash Basil.
Let basil dry thoroughly and then pat it with kitchen paper to dry it more (very important).
Put basil in bottles with a GOOD seal (I use german beer bottles with a porcelain, rubber and metal top) and cover with oil.
Leave for at least 2 weeks.
Use to flavour pasta, salads, potatoes, etc.
