Thank you Sarah, Chervil

Thank you Sarah Smith for pointing out the Chervil in my garden growing among the stinging nettle, miners lettuce and mustard greens.  Another lovely gift from the Garden Goddess.

Chervil is a delicate culinary herb used frequently in French cuisine. A member of the parsley family, chervil has a mild flavor with hints of liquorice or fennel.

Chervil leaves are delicate and curly, somewhat resembling carrot greens. Because of its delicate flavor, chervil is used in salads and soups, where it will not be overpowered by the other flavors. Used it on roasted vegetables today putting it in towards the end so it crisped.  Delicious.
