Recipes with Lemon basil
3 recipes
There are 3 recipes here that use Lemon basil, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Mushrooms with Lemon Basil at 15 minutes; the longest, Manadonese Spicy Chicken, takes 45. 1 of them finish in twenty minutes or less, which is usually what matters on a weeknight.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 1 are vegetarian. 3 are properly spicy.
Lemon basil turns up most often alongside Bird's eye chili, Red chili, Chicken thigh and Ginger — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
