Basil and the Texas heat....
"Steve Coyle" wrote in message
om... Howdy folks, I checked with my neighbor and he did plant last year, African Blue Basil in the tree ring. I took the pictures of that garden in August because I was looking for a garden in Austin that looked good at the hottest time of the year ( and in my neighborhood, "North of Hyde Park", as we like to say ,there weren't many. ) He said he did cook with the African Blue Basil but it is very strong, and I'm guessing an aquired taste, so I wouldn't expect to use it as a substitute for Sweet Basil and expect the same flavor in a recipe. I did see one cooking website that suggested cooking the stronger basils with Italian flat leaf Parsley to soften the flavor. Thanks for the clarification, Steve :-) M |
