Purple Basil adds rich colour as well as the distinctive taste of basil. The sweet strong spicy flavour enhances tomato, pasta and fish dishes. • Colour and flavour white wine vine gar a rich red/purple by steeping the vinegar with cut purple basil leaves. • Chopped purple basil leaves add colour and contrast to salads. Looks great with yellow tomatoes. • Give cooked cauliflower a pink tinge and basil flavour by adding chopped purple basil leaves to the cooking water. • Colour and flavour mayonnaise or sour cream by adding a few chopped leaves and leaving overnight. • Try using purple basil instead of traditional green basil for pesto and use as a pasta dressing or spread on toasted bread. • Purple basil looks great as a garnish on chilled soups, like gazpacho or avocado soup. • Add chopped purple basil to marinades for chicken and pork to flavour and colour the meats. • Add coarsely chopped purple basil leaves to tomato soup and sauces just before serving.
