I have grown basil before and although I love how the leaves look, I have not been in favor of the taste. I have even made pesto before, and although it looks SO good, even in your photos, and especially on the sandwich, I just cannot bring myself to use it when I have it. I stopped growing it for that reason and even stopped buying it. But your post and recipe sound delicious and I am sure it will inspire others!
Thank you Cheryl so much for the comment. I think sometimes basil is best in my homemade sauce, and the smell is great. But it does tend to have a bitter taste too.
