So crickets!
Grilus extract is a seasoning rich in umami.
The saltiness and flavor are well balanced, and when combined with the umami of tomatoes, the cricket's peculiarity is hardly felt.
What's more, despite being a liquid seasoning, about 20% of the whole is protein, so it can be used as a nutritional supplement.
The point of this recipe is the heat control when simmering tomatoes. The secret to its deliciousness is simmering it over low heat.
If fresh basil is not available, you can use dried herbs instead.
