History - Basil is a member of the mint family, and was known as the herb of kings in ancient times. In fact, its name may have been derived from the Greek word basileus, meaning "king"....
This Recipe wasn't very time consuming. It was well worth the time it took to prepare the recipe. The outcome was very delicious, served with some white cheddar mashed potatoes and a country gravy. I recommend this recipe for anyone from the non-expierenced to the professional. Great Job Kelly
