Chervil is an annual herb and is one of the traditional herbs in French cousine. It has a mild, parsley-like flavor with a small hint of licorice. Bits of chervil should be snipped from the outside edge of the plant and used fresh. The leaves will quickly loose their flavor and should be added to a dish just before serving. Chervil tea: Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 Tbs. fresh chopped chervil and let it steep for 20 minutes. Chervil Soup:
1/4 Cup Butter Directions: Melt butter and stir in flour. Cook for 2 minutes. Add broth, carrots, salt and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chervil and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Serve. |
