Working with Basil - A Photo Tour of a Chiffonade

Filed under: Kitchen skills — Nicky @ 11:26 am

Ever wondered how to do a chiffonade?  It’s a pretty simple technique that makes for a very beautiful confetti.  Here’s a step by step guide to doing a basil chiffonade.

Take loose basil leaves and stack into a pile.

 

 

 

 

 

 Stack the leaves one on top of the other and roll like a cigar.

 

 

 

 

Slice the roll into very thin slices.

 

 

 

 

 

The final product should be thin little strips of basil, like these. 

 

 

 

 

 

And that’s a pretty little basil chiffonade photo tour.
