Ingredients
olive oil
fresh herbs
basil, rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano, etc...
Instructions
Choose firm fresh herbs.
You can chop up the herbs or leave them in larger sprigs and/or leaves. I always do a combination.
Fill the ice cube compartments about 2/3 full of herbs.
Pour in the olive oil, covering the herbs.
Top the tray with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight.
Remove the frozen cubes from the ice trays and store them in freezer bags.
When ready to use, remove a cube or two from the bag and transfer it to a frying pan.
Notes
Rinse, clean, and thoroughly dry the fresh herbs.
Keep in the freezer.
Use within a couple of weeks.
