I get to host our Ladies' Book Club meeting tonight, and I am making a simple bruschetta with fresh basil from my garden. But not just chopped basil, but Basil Chiffonade (that just sounds fancy, doesn't it?).
The technique: stack the basil leaves:
Then cut into strips.
Easy! And the strips of basil look so nice with the cubes of tomato.
