basil

Basil is one of those ingredients that changes a dish the moment it hits the plate. Here it’s blitzed into a pesto that goes on grilled chicken, stirred into a creamy tomato basil bisque, and scattered over bruschetta right before serving — because adding it earlier would cook off exactly the thing you want.

Fresh or dried, it’s the herb that makes a dish taste finished.
