- 12 large basil leaves, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar

Storage
Cool cooked food promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate within 2 hours at 4°C or colder. Use within 2–3 days, or freeze promptly where texture allows. Refrigerate raw prepared salads and dairy sauces promptly; dress salads just before serving. Reheat cooked leftovers to 74°C. Best freshly made; keep chilled until serving.
Grow the main ingredient
Start with the named variety in the Casa Verde seed shop. Growing time, harvest size and flavour depend on your conditions; this recipe uses the harvested crop.

Choose similar tenderness and prepared weight; adjust cooking to the cut size. Colour and flavour will change. For peppers, check heat first: hotter varieties are not a gram-for-gram swap.
