老人家常說入秋後才刮風,必然是狠貨式。此言非虛,今年終於遇上了久違的八號颱風。 家中天台的香草園,對抗颱風的經驗尚淺,有些年輕的小盤栽,更抵擋不住猛風的打擊倒下了。 其中一盤便是羅勒 (Basil)。
根據維基記載 - (學名:Ocimum basilicum),也被稱為聖約瑟夫草和甜羅勒、羅勒,客家語九層塔叫七層塔,廣東潮汕地區稱為金不換,安徽北部方言稱為香花子,中國北方部份地區稱之為蘭香,是一種矮小、幼嫰的脣形科香草植物。 大多數普通種類是一年生植物,一些是多年生植物,包括非洲藍九層塔和泰國神九層塔。
我最愛看它開出白色小花,用手輕輕擦著葉兒,便會揮發出香氣。 不過看見花兒便要立刻採擷,因為長花後的羅勒會變得成熟老化,會影響鮮嫩的口感。 摘下的花兒可沖配花草茶或加入沙律中。 我又會將花風乾後,在秋天時再次播種延續下一代。
為了好好感謝羅勒小姐一直對我家的眷顧,我把被颱風吹倒而折斷的部份,製作了美味的松子羅勒醬,將其芳香的使命延伸至餐桌。 這款美味的羅勒醬汁,既可配麵包或意粉,也用來慢煮海鮮,風味一絕,大家不妨試試。
🍃 Basil & the Typhoon – A Garden Story
One autumn in Hong Kong, Typhoon No. 8 swept through, toppling some of the younger pots in my rooftop herb garden—including my beloved basil (Ocimum basilicum). I love watching its tiny white flowers bloom, releasing a fragrant aroma with every gentle touch. Once the flowers appear, the leaves start to mature, so immediate harvest is key for tender flavor.
Inspired by gratitude and the plant’s resilience, I transformed the storm-broken basil into a pine nut basil pesto, bringing its fresh aroma from garden to table. Perfect on bread, pasta, or for gently braised seafood, this sauce turns nature’s gifts into unforgettable flavors.
