Thai Basil

The better part of the day was spent cooking and on todays menu was Thai Pad Krapow. A savoury chicken dish that calls for chicken sauteed in garlic, onions and bell pepper and tossed in fragrant Thai Basil leaves. The dish is made more aromatic with a sprinkling of fish sauce and sweet soy.

These are freshly picked basil from the garden. Lunch, anyone?

*Not to worry, this chopping board has long since been retired. I just didn't have the heart to throw it out.
