Thai basil bunch ±20g

540070

This iconic condiment of Southeast Asian cuisine is distinguished by its purple stems and pointed leaves, which release powerful notes of liquorice and clove. Selected by Le Delas for the distinctiveness of its aromatic profile and its resistance to cooking, this herb is an essential technical ingredient for bringing rare authenticity and flavour complexity to contemporary culinary creations. Aromatic enhancement, preparation and storage: ► Culinary uses: A central ingredient in green or red curries and beef stir-fries, it also blends brilliantly into pho-style broths or cream infusions for exotic desserts. ► Plating and presentation: Its bright green leaves, contrasting with the purple hue of the stems, allow dishes to be presented with a striking visual impact and an immediately recognisable aromatic signature. ► Preparation: Unlike common basil, Thai basil withstands heat better; it can be added during cooking in a wok or infused in boiling liquids to release its full aniseed-like flavour profile. ► Storage: Sensitive to excessive cold, this product must be stored in a temperate area of a positive-temperature cold store, protected from direct moisture to prevent the tops from wilting.
