What is a Basil Chiffonade?
Chiffonade is a French cooking technique in which herbs or leafy green vegetables (such as spinach and basil) are cut into long, thin strips. This is generally accomplished by stacking leaves, rolling them tightly, then cutting across the rolled leaves with a sharp knife, producing fine ribbons.
Check out this video that demonstrates this technique:

I’ve been looking for some great recipes using Pesto Sauce (something I’ve recently become utterly smitten with). This sounds amazing and I’ll bet it’d be heavenly with a loaf of crispy Italian bread.
Oh, yeah, I totally see this in my future.
