We of course love the flavor of fresh chives just as we do with all fresh herbs but keeping some freeze dried chives in your spice cabinet make this a handy item in any kitchen. Closely related to the onion, chives provide an easy and colorful way to add a light onion touch to a large variety of dishes.
Sophisticated freeze drying processes allow chives to retain their color, texture and freshness best. We like chives because they seamlessly blend with practically any dish and their bright green color adds to the visual presentation.
Even the smallest amount of moisture will quickly rehydrate them which allows you to add fresh garden herb flavor to your sour cream, cheese, stir fries, egg or potato dishes, vinegars, salads, cream cheese, herb butters, cream and tomato sauces and soups – especially vichyssoise but also any creamy, cold, or vegetable soup.
Chives are also a key ingredient to fines herbs.
Chives work well in combination with basil, cilantro, fennel seed, paprika, parsley and tarragon.
If you are looking for other ways to use dried chives then you might want to try out some of these recipes - Peppery Herb Cheese Ball, Spicy Onion Dip or Vegetarian Chunky Breakfast Hash.
