Chervil is the super early spring green, that adds subtle wild flavours to your salads or a beautiful finishing touch for special dishes. 

Suggested uses

  1. Wash well before use
  2. Best used fresh, although it can be dried or frozen
  3. Use as a substitute for parsley or tarragon in recipes

Ideas

  2. Butter: Mix finely chopped chervil with butter and spread it over toast or use it to flavour steamed vegetables or fish.
  3. Eggs: Add a handful of chopped chervil to scrambled eggs or an omelette for an added depth of flavour.
