Chiffonade
Just to jog your memory...to make a nice basil (or other) chiffonade,
lay several leaves down on top of each other and
roll them up. Cut them thinly across as you would a jelly roll and,
voila, beautiful basil ribbons. Do it at the last moment
to prevent darkening and use a very sharp knife or scissors.
