Eurasian plant whose aromatic leaves are used as herbs for seasoning (5)

I believe the answer is:

basil

(Other definitions for basil that I've seen before include "Culinary plant" , "Aromatic herb with purplish-green leaves" , "comic character" , "Aromatic herb in pesto" , "Fragrant herb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
