Presto. It's really too bad I can't share with bsky since I don't know anyone else. I've still got a lot of Thai and holy that needs to be harvested next week. Not sure what the conventional wisdom is on making pesto with it? 🍽️

Gorgeous! I would not make pesto with those other basils—they are two whole different herbs in spite of their names. Holy basil is best dried as a tea. Thai basil is best fresh in Thai and Vietnamese food, but failing that you could freeze it.

Thai Basil pesto is good on salmon. Swap in roasted peanuts for the pine nuts. Use rice vinegar instead of lemon. A little red pepper, sesame oil and soy sauce.

Nice! If you want to make more pesto with the other varieties it’s possible, up to you if you like the flavor.

I blend it with a little olive oil and freeze it in cubes, use it for cooking in winter.

I've found that basil keeps producing a lot longer if you keep it pinched off. Thai basil is okish for pesto, but if you've got enough of the Italian-style stuff, freezing it for later cooking sounds good.

Looks good! Do you use specific proportions or just go by feel?
