How to freeze herbs in olive oil

A good way of keeping fresh herbs is to pick them at their peak freezing them for enjoying later in sauces and winter stews.
This recipe belongs to the book Living the extra virgin life that was launched recently. It was distinguished in an international contest and was the Portuguese book that won more categories this year, and in May we are going to China to represent Portugal, on the Gourmand Awards, on the categories of Best Photography, Best Mediterranean Book, and Best Simple Theme.

Ingredients

250 ml organic extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh coriander, basil, parsley or tarragon.

Method

Chop the chosen herbs, place them in an ice cube tray, fill up with olive oil, cover with clingfilm and place in the freezer. Fill each ice cube tray with the same type of herb and once they are frozen, place in labelled plastic bags. Store in the freezer.
