Chives recipes

1 ways through a glut of chives, which is ready now. Sides, mains, preserves for the ones you can't eat fast enough.

Chive Oil

Chive oil — made by blanching chives, blending with oil, and straining — produces an intensely vivid green oil that's as beautiful as it is flavorful. Drizzle it over chilled soups, poached eggs, seared scallops, or any dish that wants a bright, herbal finishing note. A small jar of this in your refrigerator is a secret weapon.
