Instead of Dried basil
Dried basil has a concentrated aroma that fresh basil only partly matches.
Basil leavesUse about 3 times the weight of fresh leaves, add near the end of cooking. Fresher, greener flavour; not as concentrated.
Dried mintUse the same weight only if a minty note suits the dish. Different herb, cooler flavour.
