Uses |
Chervil,
Anthriscus cerefolium, is a small low-growing annual of
the carrot family. It derives its name from the Latin chaerophyllum
which means "festive herb" or "herb of joy."
Its lacy, fern like foliage is dried and ground for seasoning.
Even though it is a member of the Parsley family, it is
much more aromatic. |
Used
in poultry, seafood, vegetables, vinegar, and soups. Chervil
is used in French and European cuisine and the spice blends
of bouquet garni and fines herbes. |
