Do you like Black Pudding with its signature flavour of basil that we call married-man pork? Do you like Fried Rice? If your answer to both questions is yes, then you’ve got to make this Basil Fried Rice today for Sunday lunch.
There are over 40 varieties of basil, each with its unique flavour, that make every dish and drink to which they are added, distinct. Basil, when used for certain dishes, sauces, salads, or beverages, like tea, gives a signature flavour for which that particular item is well known. The easiest example of this is our Black Pudding. We are not the only people who make Black Pudding, but we are the only people who make Black Pudding heavily flavoured with bush basil (married-man pork) paired with broad-leaf thyme and the fine thyme we use that has notes of fresh oregano, known in other places as Portuguese thyme. Make no mistake, it is the basil that is the star flavour ingredient in the Black Pudding.
