COmmON KITCHEN HERBS

• 45 –

Harvest: Snip or pinch the stems, starting with the ripe

outer foliage first to let the young stems at the center

grow.

Care: When the plants seed, sow again to start the

next crop.

Keep It Fresh

Freeze chopped chervil for up to three months (see

directions on page 19). Chervil should never be dried.

In the Kitchen

Dishes: Salads, dressings, marinades,

sauces, soups

Prep: Use whole fresh leaves or chop

them before adding to a dish.

Serve: Offering a somewhat subtle

background flavor, chervil is known to

enhance the flavors of other herbs and

is often used alongside chives, pars-

ley, and tarragon. The springtime herb

adds a sweet balance to vinegars and

bitter greens, and complements other

spring-season foods.
