Basil/12 recipes

:)

A refreshingly delicious chickpea and pea salad is packed with goodness. Chunks of feta cheese, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes are tossed with chickpea, peas, fresh mint, basil, and a lemon juice-red wine vinegar vinaigrette. A perfect summer salad.

These apples are gently spiced and good for brunch as well as dessert.

Although quite good with using cottage cheese, I prefer to make the rolls with part-skim ricotta. They are delicious!

This soup was such a comfy dish that was just perfect on a cold winter day. The combination was so hearty and it was also very flavourful. Not too hard to make, and I will be making this soup again soon.

Best Beer Cheese Soup recipe

Caramelized grilled figs and smoky prosciutto are a delicious pair, and you can find both of them in this salad, mixed with some peppery arugula, gouda cheese and tossed with a basil-roasted bell pepper vinaigrette.

Give your pizza a new twist by using fresh figs, olive tapenade and goat cheese. It's delicious, serve it as a main dish or an appetizer.

This eggplant, pumpkin and spinach vegie lasagna is a fair bit of work and takes a while - but it is absolutly worth every bit of effort. It tastes wonderful and is really healthy. It can be frozen in individual servings and will last for ages. I've taken a serve to university for lunch [where i have access to a microwave] about once a week for the last 8 weeks - all from the one batch. Fantastic :D
