It’s summer time, and Asian fresh herbs are making their way back into the markets. Among those are Thai basil, or “Krapow,” and fresh chilies. These herbs are locally grown in the Homestead area.

For those who love to cook Thai food, this is the perfect time. The aroma of cooked Thai basil combined with garlic and fresh chilies will make your mouth water. Thai basil by itself imparts a fresh spicy flavor when cooked. If preferred, chilies can be left out for those who favor their dish non-spicy.

“Pad Krapow” is the number two best selling dish at our restaurant (second to Pad Thai, of course). The recipe can be made with your choice of meat or seafood. We hope you enjoy it!
