Chives are a fresh aromatic herb, recognisable by their thin, hollow green stems, sold in bunches weighing approximately 20g. Supplied by Le Delas in Rungis, it is highly prized for its delicate, slightly garlicky and peppery taste. Chives are one of the most commonly used herbs for garnishing and seasoning dishes. Culinary uses: Chives can be used in a variety of ways, mainly raw and as a finishing touch: ► Garnish and decoration: Finely chopped, it is essential for decorating dishes, soups, veloutés, omelettes and fish. ► Sauces and seasonings: Perfect for flavouring cold sauces (cream cheese sauce, crème fraîche), vinaigrettes, tartares and fresh cheeses. ► Egg dishes: A classic addition to scrambled eggs, omelettes and poached eggs. ► Potatoes: A key ingredient in baked potatoes and mashed potatoes. Storage and preparation tips: ► Storage: Fresh product. Store in a cool place (refrigerator), placing the base of the bunch in a glass of water or wrapping it in damp kitchen paper if possible. ► Use: Wash and dry gently. Chop the chives at the last minute, just before serving, as heat or prolonged contact with food can cause them to lose their aroma and colour. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
