Hi there,
My small garden has produced a LOT of chillies, different varieties, with many more to come, mostly all very hot. I also have a lot of sweet basil growing. As I will be going away for 5 weeks, I thought I might try to combine the two (basil and chilli) in some way so as to preserve them (I don't think the basil will be great once I get back).
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm a bit short of time, so won't be able to use very complicated recipes.
I also have a lot of marjoram and sage, but these should last until I get back.
I have been drying most of my chillies thus far, but would like to try something new - sauce, paste etc.
it would be great to use the basil somehow, as I would hate to waste it (I am not planning on drying the basil).
I have seen a Thai basil and chilli paste advertised, but cannot find a recipe for it.
Any suggestions will be very welcome. Thank you.
