Now that we finally have a thriving basil plant, I want to make some basil-heavy recipes. This one comes from Caldwell Esselstyn's Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.
Ingredients:
3 15-ounce cans butter beans, drained and rinsed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup (or more) coarsely chopped basil
1 16-ounce pkg frozen corn, thawed under running water
1 box grape or cherry tomatoes, halved, or 1 large tomato, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients and pile in center of a platter or bowl. Surround with spinach leaves and other vegetables of your choice, raw or cooked. (I bet this would be good over baby arugula.)
