Non-Pesto Basil Recipes

Posted: 09 Jul 2013 09:30 AM PDT

Non-Pesto Basil Recipes-photo Basil flourishes in the hot, dry weather, and so, at the height of summer, we're tossing the bright green, refreshing leaves into everything we can. Though predominantly associated with Mediterranean cuisines, where it's commonly ground into pesto, basil leaves can also be used whole, torn, or diced to add bright flavor to a wide range of drinks and dishes from around the world. From gelato to juleps, Thai fish custard to savory-sweet watermelon salad, pea soup, and more, these seventeen recipes let basil shine.

When Columbus Ohio-based ice cream maven Jeni Britton Bauer visited the SAVEUR Test Kitchen to share a few tricks of her trade (see Here's The Scoop), it triggered a rush of sweet memories, and a few questions, too. We have an automatic ice cream maker, but what about all of those readers who don't? Would the same principles that Bauer adheres to in producing her Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams yield delicious ice creams even without the motorized churning action of an electric ice cream maker? The answer is a resounding yes.
