INGREDIENTS
•
Choose firm, fresh herbs, ideally from the market or your own garden.
•
2.If you wish, you can chop them fine. Or leave them in larger sprigs and leaves. Here I froze a combination of finely-chopped and whole herbs such as rosemary, fennel stalk, sage, and oregano.
•
3.Pack the wells of ice cube trays about 2/3 full of herbs.
•
4.You can mix up the herbs, too; think about freezing a bouquet garni of sage, thyme, and rosemary to add to winter roast chickens and potatoes!
•
5.Pour extra-virgin olive oil or melted, unsalted butter over the herbs.
•
6.Cover lightly with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
•
7.Remove the frozen cubes and store in freezer containers or small bags.
•
8.Don't forget to label each container or bag with the type of herb (and oil) inside
