How to Use Dried Basil
Dried Basil brings a touch of Mediterranean charm to everyday cooking. Its warm, sweet, and slightly peppery flavor is a staple in Italian, Greek, and even Thai-inspired dishes. Perfect for home cooks who want gourmet flavor without the fuss.
Ways to Use:
- Stir into tomato sauces, soups, and stews for depth and aroma
- Sprinkle over pizzas, flatbreads, and roasted vegetables
- Blend into salad dressings, marinades, and herb butters
- Infuse in olive oil for a quick finishing drizzle
- Add to meat rubs, especially for chicken, lamb, or grilled vegetables
Tips for Use:
For maximum flavor, crumble the dried basil between your fingers before adding it to your dish. Add early when cooking
sauces, or sprinkle at the end for a fresh herbal finish.
