Chervil

Chervil offers a mild, sweet licorice or anise flavor and is used fresh or cooked into sauces, soups and egg dishes. It is also used in place of curly parsley as a garnish. Wash and rough chop the herb for pasta, grain or green salads or other cold vegetable salads. Add to hot risotto and pasta dishes. Chervil pairs well with citrus, eggs, fish, asparagus, potatoes, mild cheeses, beets, green beans and vinegar-based dressings and marinades. It can be used in recipes calling for tarragon or parsley, or a combination of the two. Use it for pesto, chimichurri or for Mediterranean salsa verde. Blend Chervil with olive or grapeseed oil and use it as a condiment for salads and soups. Preserve the aromatic herb in white wine or cider vinegar.
