Basil 🌿

With its sweet, slightly peppery flavour, basil shines in Italian dishes like pasta, salads, and pizza. Whether fresh or cooked, it pairs perfectly with tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic, and olive oil. Plus, it's loaded with anti-inflammatory compounds, vitamins A and C, and supports digestion.

Try it in pesto, pasta sauces or drizzle basil-infused olive oil for a flavour boost.

Keep your herbs fresher for longer.

Fresh Herbs: Wrap them in damp paper towels and store in a plastic bag in the fridge. Or place in a glass of water like a bouquet.

Dried Herbs: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Crush before use to release the oils for maximum flavour.

Ever wonder when to use fresh or dried herbs?

- Fresh Herbs bring vibrant flavour and are perfect for salads, dressings, and quick dishes. Add them towards the end for a fresh touch.

- Dried Herbs are more concentrated and great for slow-cooked meals like soups and stews. Use 1/3 of the amount compared to fresh for the same flavour boost.

Join us for an unforgettable culinary experience at Encore Restaurant for another famous Curry Buffet Evening on 12 September 2024. Indulge in a selection of exquisite dishes, rich in spices and flavors.
