Recipes for Chives

living_insanity

I use my herbs pretty regularly except for my chives.  Help me with a few recipes I can throw my chives in please

 

Tonight I have my sage and rosemary on some potatoes, sausage, and onions all roasting in the oven.   My sage is trying to blossom already!  I had to rip some flower buds off to prevent it today.

My chives are wanting to shoot up buds to. Snip off 5 or 6 everyday!

With all my herbs, I make herb butter and then freeze. Mix chopped herbs in with a stick of softened butter. Reform into a log using plastic wrap. Then freeze. The fats in the butter really preserve the green color and freshness in the herbs. Great tossed in pasta, or on a baked potato or steak hot off the grill.

These were fantastic on Friday.

I also like chives sprinkled in scrambled eggs.

I sprinkle them on top of grilled steaks, in mashed potatoes, and on top of scrambled eggs. You could add them to salad, make compound butter, or add them as a garnish to most dishes.

I substitute them for scallions or onions regularly. Also, I love the blossoms to make chive vinegar - makes a great dressing.

Besides above suggestions, I also like to add to quiche or just chopped up in my salads.
