Chives are wonderful herbs with a mild onion flavor that are unfortunately often overlooked in cooking. Using chives is a simple way to add flavor and richness to your dishes, and here are a few ways to use them in the kitchen.
Flavored Butter
Why bother buying flavored butter when you can easily make this delicious spread at home and customize it to your taste? Mixing chives with butter will help you prepare the most delicious flavored butter at home.
Fish
Just a splash of lemon juice will add flavor to your baked or grilled fish, but using chives from your garden is also a great way to season fish.
Baked Potatoes
Baked potatoes are a quick and tasty side dish that’s perfect for any occasion and you can easily elevate them by topping them with chives and cheddar cheese or sour cream.
Salads
When preparing salads we tend to focus on our favorite veggies but don’t forget to use herbs, such as chives, to add balance and flavor to this hearty dish.
Garnish Soups
Chives make a perfect flavorful addition to soups, especially creamy soups made from potatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower, or pumpkin.
