Chives recipes

A silky, deeply flavoured potato soup where chives do far more than garnish — half go in during cooking to build a grassy, onion-forward base, and the rest are stirred through just before serving to keep that fresh brightness. Proper, unfussy soup that tastes exactly like a summer garden. Serve hot or cold depending on the weather.

A silky, vivid green chive butter sauce that would be worth making just to eat with a spoon, here spooned generously over crisp-skinned pan-fried trout fillets. The sauce uses a whole bunch of chives blended into the butter, so the flavour is bold and the colour is stunning. This is proper weeknight cooking that feels like a restaurant meal.

These gyoza-style dumplings are packed with a fragrant filling of minced pork and a very generous amount of fresh chives — the chive flavour is bold, grassy and absolutely central to the whole thing. They're pan-fried to a golden crisp base then steamed in the pan to cook through, giving you that satisfying contrast of textures. It is a proper weeknight project that comes together in under 30 minutes if you use ready-made dumpling wrappers.
