summer snack

the basil is really bushing out in the garden these days. to help encourage the basil to form new branches and leaves and to continue growing throughout the summer, i cut back to the top two leaves and try to remove flower buds immediately.

the basil prunings have been being put to good use around here to make a favorite summer snack.

basil popcorn

1/2 cup popcorn
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup basil leaves
parmesean cheese
sea salt
cracked black pepper

in a food processor mix the oil and basil leaves and set aside.
pop the corn.

pour basil-oil over popcorn and mix thoroughly.
sprinkle with parmesean, salt and pepper to your liking.
we like ours on the cheesy side.


pour yourself a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade and enjoy!

    I have so much basil in my yard I can't eat it quick enough. Do you have any other snack recipes which include basil? :)

    This looks great - I have lots of basil! We just made popcorn on the stovetop last week, but it was a bit bland - so this will be quite tasty!

    i made this the other day but popped the popcorn in oil on the stove, the result was too oily with the extra basil oil (but boy did it smell good and taste good, just too soggy). i just noticed you air popped yours so i am excited to try again with an air popper. do you have any suggestions that maybe i overlooked besides that? thanks!!

    Kann man Steroide ohne Risiko verwenden?
    Die Verwendung von Steroiden https://pharmax-anabolika.com/ birgt immer Risiken. Auch bei sachgemäßer Anwendung und Überwachung durch einen Arzt können Nebenwirkungen auftreten. Es ist wichtig, sich über die potenziellen Risiken und Nebenwirkungen zu informieren und abzuwägen, ob die Vorteile die Risiken überwiegen.
