A friend and I have been hard at work prepping basil & salt’s gourmet garden and I am now making my plan and creating recipes for the coming bounty of summer.
I’ve gone back into the archives of our printed late summer | early fall edition of Basil & Salt Magazine for inspiration and thought I would share this simple, delicious recipe, as it is one of my favorites.
