I got desperate making spanakapita last weekend when DH forgot the mint - ran out to the unseasonably warm garden & found some chocolate mint still going. It worked very well in the recipe, very strong tasting. I was growing it in planters around the pool. LOVE the smell on a hot summer day.
I love every kind of basil
especially with tomato, garlic & olive oil toasted on Naan bread.
Mmmm... great, now I am starving.
