Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 The Frugal Gourmet's Irish Potato Soup calls for chives. That's our main use for them, but we've also tried chives in potato pancakes, dips, and cheese balls. Sorry, I don't have the recipes handy. I usually print out something from allrecipes.com. You can do a search based on specific ingredients. Have you tried drying them? I believe you can use your oven if you don't have a dehydrator. , Kathy Dederich <kmdgs97 wrote: > > I have both regular and garlic chives that grow like weeds!!!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 An extension of my previous post. I hope it's okay to mention another group - preserving-food can give you lots of hints on drying, freezing, canning, and using ingredients. Just thought, you can also cut a slit in a potato, insert chives, and bake as usual. The flavor permeates the entire potato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Kathy, I too grow reg. Chives and Garlic Chives and yes they do grow like sweet little weeds. Mine are in containers and come inside for the Winter. That way I can snip Chives all year round. I use chives as a garnish for almost anything. They are wonderful sprinkled on fresh salads and wraps. Great in pasta and potato salads and perfect with cream cheese or sour cream. I put them in my Hummus, salsas and dressings. It is a good idea to freeze Chives if you can't keep a container inside as they do not dry well. They lose all their wonderful flavor if dried. They also tend to lose their flavor if cooked.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I grow them too Kathy & yes, they do grow well. We put them in almost everything - omelets, mashed potatoes, rice, sushi, on baked potatoes, snipped fresh into salads. I use the flowers in salad dressings & dips - boy are they strong!
