This Chives recipe roundup is inspired by the overabundance of Chives my garden produces! Hopefully your chives are in blossom right now too. I love the taste of chives but in my house, they’re usually just thrown on as a garnish. I want Chives to shine! They’re an excellent accompaniment to savory or hearty dishes, like things involving cheeses, breads, and potatoes. Chive blossoms are also edible flowers that can add beauty to salads and other dishes. In folklore, Chives are thought to be useful in banishing evil so perhaps this could translate to an energetically cleansing sort of herb. To read more about Chives, check out Chive Talkin’ on homestead.org.
