4. Wiki On Chervil And Chervil Soup

Description:

Chervil or garden chervil is one of the herbs and belongs to the umbelliferae family (bot.: Apiaceae, Umbrelliferae).

It is closely related to parsley and carrots and, like parsley, has pinnate leaves in a delicate green on thin, hollow stems and small, white flowers.

The aromatic scent that chervil exudes is due to its richness in essential oils.

Origin:

Chervil originally comes from West and Southeast Asia, but is now widespread in Europe, Asia, North Africa and North and South America.

It can also be found in the wild as a cultural refugee, but it should not be collected there because of the risk of confusion with other poisonous umbellifers.

Season:

Fresh chervil can be found commercially from April to the end of June, but it can still be cultivated in the garden until autumn.

To get the full aroma, chervil should be harvested before flowering. Chervil is now available all year round and has a firm place as a decoration on appetizers, soups, fish and meat dishes.

Features :

In addition to tarragon, parsley and chives, chervil is one of the Fines Herbes and the seven herbs of the Frankfurt Green Sauce

The delicious herbal mixture Fines Herbes is a classic of French cuisine, which consists of freshly chopped chives, chervil, parsley and tarragon.

Depending on the recipe, other fragrant herbs such as burnet, basil, marjoram, thyme or rosemary can also be added.

The harmonious combination of the various herbs gives every dish an aromatic note and is a real treat for the palate.

Use:

It is used for numerous dishes such as chervil soup or salads and, due to its ethereal taste, goes well with many dishes.

Chervil is often used as an ingredient in the preparation of cold sauces and fondue sauces.

star cuisine:

A gourmet critic who noticed the frequent use of chervil could not resist asking star chef Heinz Winkler about it. Heinz Winkler replied:

The chervil harmonises perfectly with the food, it whets the appetite and supports digestion.

In addition, the waiter can see from the chervil that he is allowed to bring the plate to the guest.

Summary:

Chervil is a brilliant choice for garnishing all types of food. As a rule, the leaf ends with a few stems are plucked off and used.

It’s good practice to place the plucked chervil in cold ice water to keep it fresh in the heat of the kitchen.

The tender leaves of the chervil are very sensitive and should therefore only be added to warm dishes just before serving to avoid drying out and turning brown.

Since chervil does not lend itself well to drying and loses a lot of its flavor when frozen, fresh chervil is preferable.
