Along with chives, tarragon and parsley, it is used as an aromatic seasoning blend called "Fines Herbes". A flavorful addition to sauces, salad dressings and soups, chervil must be used fresh to produce its full flavor. Cooking destroys the color and flavor, so add last.
Chervil is a traditional remedy for bad dreams, burns, and stomach upsets. Chervil is an excellent source of antioxidants that stabilize cell membranes, reducing inflammation associated with headache, sinusitis, peptic ulcer, and infections. |
