Basil & Lime Oil
Our chefs have created a homemade oil mix for you to use on your next culinary experiment! Basil and Lime oil is perfect for those times when you want a hint of these flavors but don’t want to end up with an overpowering taste. Both basil and lime have a strong scent that becomes especially noticeable once it is minced, chopped and squeezed. The lime taste is a wonderful complement to many savory dishes and can lend a more sophisticated flavor profile when used in place of sweet basil. This oil should be used fresh and added during the last moments of cooking. Try it with any recipe or simply pair it with some of the ingredients suggested below: Vegetables: Zucchini, corn, bell pepper, tomato, green beans, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, eggplant, squash, spinach, artichoke, fennel, onion, potato Seafood: Lobster, shrimp, crab, red snapper, salmon (fresh and smoked), grouper, tuna Meat and Poultry: Chicken, turkey, beef, veal, lamb, sausage Soups and Sauces: Corn chowder, tomato, minestrone, vegetable soup, bÊchamel Dairy: Egg dishes, ricotta, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, bleu cheese, goat cheese Legumes and Grains: Tabouleh, polenta, cannellini beans, rice (all varieties), couscous, all pasta Fruit and Dessert: Watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, apple, peach, nectarine, pear, figs Herbs and Seasoning: Lemon, lime, mint, oregano, chili, garlic
