Our garden is flourishing and I found myself staring at amazement at how a simple seed can sprout given the right love, time, and nourishment. The last two seasons our garden didn't grow as many as I had hoped. This year I stared at Gods work proud and happy that simple things such as basil was flourishing so well.
We learned how to prune off the flowers of the basil and cilantro and how to help it to stay healthy, We don't think about how we have to prune off parts of our self to grow healthier but we do to keep producing fruit or basil. :)
In this recipe I suggest not modifying it, it turned out perfect and my picky kids loved it! There were no leftovers.
Take the basil about half cup, 2-3 tsp. minced or pressed garlic, 1/4 tsp salt, 2-3 Tbl of olive oil, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice and mix it in the blender.
Mix it well until its a good liquid consistency. My family is a family of 4 who probably eat like a family of 6 but in any case below is our chicken.
Marinate that for 2-3 hours in the fridge and then grill.
We had ours with mashed potatoes and broccoli and my girls ate every bite! They even asked for seconds of the meat which normally doesn't happen. It was a fresh lemon and basil flavor without being over powering.
My next try I will make it in the crockpot and post my outcome!
Yum yum yum!
