 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2  ounce         fresh basil (leaves and stems), roughly
                         chopped (about 1/3 cup)
    1      cup           extra virgin olive oil
 
 Combine the basil and il in the bowl of a food processor or blender and
 puree for 10 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a 1/2-pint Mason jar, cover,
 and set aside for about 1 hour, until the basil settles to the bottom.
 Strain the contents through a fine sieve into a 1-cup glass measuring cup.
 The oil should be ready to use immediately. It must be stored in the
 refrigerator, where it has a shelf life of up to 1 week.
 
 YIELD: 1 cup
