Herb Basting Brush

December 27th, 2008 No Comments   Posted in herb

Turn a sweet-corn feast into an elegant affair with easy-to-make herb basting brushes. These fragrant brushes infuse butter with the flavor of the herb, enhanching the taste of any food they contact.

To make a brush, cut fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, marjoram, oregano, small-leaved basil, or chives from the garden. Gather a few sprigs into a small, tight bunch; insert the pointed end of wooden skewer or clean, straight tree twig into the middle. Bind the herbs to the skewer with a rubber band, trimming the ends to create an even brushing surface.

Cover the rubber band with a length of raffia tied into a bow. Then dunk the ends into melted butter, brush them over a steaming car of sweet corn, and enjoy.

Kitchen Bouquet

When allowed to flower, basil produces delicate spiky blossoms that make fir a fabulously simple and aromatic bouquet. If you cut flowers just as they start to bloom, your basil plant should continue to be productive and full.

Basil bouquets will keep for several days in water, For showy arrangements,  mix different varieties, such as bold purple basil and bright green common or sweet basil. While filling the kitchen with sweet scent, they`ll offer a ready harvest for your daily cooking. Use leaves in Italian cuisine, on sandwiches, and in salads. Sprinkle the blossoms into soups, salads, or pasta.
