Chervil is a herb, used extensively in French cuisine.
Characteristics
editA delicate herb, chervil has bright green feathery fern-like leaves and a slight resemblance to parsley.[1][2] It has a flavour slightly reminiscent of liquorice.[3]
Selection and storage
editChervil does not dry well and should be purchased fresh.[1] Look for well-colored unwilted leaves.[3]
Use
editThe herb is most common in French cooking, where it helps make up fines herbes and is used in a variety of dishes.[1] Because the flavor is delicate, adding at the end of cooking is recommended.[1][3] The leaves can also be used as a garnish.[2][4]
