Chervil

Description

Chervil’s taste is perhaps best described as a toned-down, fine and delicate version of a cross between tarragon and parsley with just a teeny tiny back-note hint of a bit of anise or mint, without either of those flavors really coming through at all.
Chervil looks like a slightly paler, more delicate, and more finely shaped flat-leaf parsley, but with frillier, thinner looking leaves. Sometimes bunches of chervil will have leaves that are quite tightly closed, almost flower-like. Avoid chervil with actual blossoms attached to it—that usually means the herb will have turned a bit bitter. But the blossoms then have a wonderful taste.

USES:
Chervil is one of the herbs used to make fines herbs (the others are parsley, tarragon, and chives), a delicate herb blend used extensively in French cooking. Chervil is particularly delicious with eggs—either added to an omelet or sprinkled on scrambled eggs. It can also bring a fresh kick when added to lightly dressed salads and poultry dishes. This Delicate Spring Herb is perfect and particularly delicious in omelets and other egg dishes.

NOTE ***Estimated time to Harvest: 18-30+ days

SUBSTITUTIONS:
On the one hand, nothing else will really taste like chervil; on the other hand, either parsley or tarragon (or, even better, a combination of the two) can add that fresh-green-herb note in a recipe when chervil is not to be found. Chives or dill, which also pair so well with eggs and delicate greens, can work well in place of chervil, even though the taste is quite different.
