Preserved Fresh Herbs in Olive Oil

1.
Choose firm fresh herbs.
2.
You can chop up the herbs or leave them in larger sprigs and/or leaves. I always do a combination.
3.
Fill the ice cube compartments about 2/3 full of herbs.
4.
Pour extra virgin olive oil, covering the herbs.
5.
Top the tray with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight.
6.
Remove the frozen cubes from the ice trays and store in freezer bags.
7.
When ready to use, remove a cube from the bag and transfer it to a frying pan.
