Chervil
Herbs
Refrigerator
Chervil is a herb related to parsley and coriander. The ultimate dish with chervil is chervil soup. This is where the distinct, slightly sweet aniseed-like flavour comes into its own. The fine young green leaves are very aromatic. Chervil is usually harvested from annual plants because the young leaves are the tastiest. There is also Roman chervil. Chervil keeps best in the fridge.
Preparation & storage
Storage
Fresh chervil can be kept chilled, in a plastic bag or in cling film, for a few days.
Freezing is possible, but you should use the chervil immediately after defrosting. Otherwise, the aroma will be lost.
In a well-sealed plastic bag, chervil can be kept in the freezer for up to 12 months at a minimum of -18°C.
Freezing is done like this:
- Wash the chervil.
- Pat the chervil dry with some kitchen paper.
- Wrap them in sandwich bags.
- Then freeze them immediately.
You can enjoy a pot of chervil on the windowsill or balcony for weeks. Be sure to water them sufficiently!
Prepare
The subtle aroma of chervil quickly disappears when you use it. Therefore, always cut chervil just before use. Add chervil to the dish at the last moment.
Storage times
Refrigerator: 2-3 days
