Don’t limit your babecue to just smoking with hickory and mesquite. Try Basil Twigs. If you happen to grow fresh basil during the summer months you’ll likely find that you have an dry bush of twigs as winter nears. Not good looking… but good for cooking!
Use the completely dried twigs to add flavor to your next cook out. Soak the twigs as you would any wood chips and use them to add that secret basil flavor to pork chops or a good London broil. Enjoy a cold one while your buddies argue over what wood your using!
Hi there, thank you for that. I was looking for a meaty stew recipe to get me through the christmas month, and this sounds perfect. I found a whole stew recipes site here too that seems to have loads of good stuff, maybe you can get some more inspiration there. Anyway, thanks again, I will bookmark and read more another time 😉
