.... poorly Wife ... so bland food? So baked fish with parsley butter - mash with horseradish - &, the point of this post - Pru's Lemon & Chive Sauce. Just try it!!
Handful of Chives - dollops of Soured Cream or Creme Fraiche - twice that in Mayo -
s & (green - my idea) p - & lemon juice to taste.
She's feeling better now!
oooh, that would make me feel better too Tim... :)
And, OF COURSE, put in whizzer = green sauce.
Sounds a nice alternative to parsley sauce Tim. Hope wife is soon better.
Yes, hope it did the trick for your wife Tim :-*
That sounds glorious Tim. I hope Mrs Tim is feeling better. :)
Thanks - the threat of visiting the Doctor worked wonders.
Shame how women suffer.
Tim-our best wishes to you and Pat-with a cook like you around she will be :) fine
And make good use of the chive flowers too - just fill a jam jar with them and top up with a white vinegar (white wine and cider are both good). Leave for a week or two, giving the occasional shake. Then strain in to a vinegar bottle. What you are left with is a lovely pink/light purple coloured vinegar, full of chive flavour. Great used in salad dressing, on chips (maybe not for the purists!) or a fave of mine, on freshly cooked young beetroot..
Cheers,

Brilliant idea. I wonder if you could use them to flavour oil. Anyone tried?
Brill, Normie. Will do that tonight, and a little bottle in oil to see how it goes, yet another good idea Mmary ;)
Please let us know how it turns out.
Reporting in on chive flowers in oil. Used a little bottle and not the very best oil (as I didn't have any really good stuff) BUT even so, I made salad dressing last night with said flavoured oil, white balsamic vinegar,little amount of garlic thinings and a very little sugar. It was divine.Will make more and more and more..... :P
OK - will try!
Sounds deelish as my chives are still in full bloom. Hope Mrs Tim is feeling better now.
Indeed - thanks!
I shall try it too - thanks for experimenting on our behalf Emaggie. :)
What a clever idea - wonder if I could do that with the flowers of my african basil. I am going to cut the flowers off tonight and give it a bit of a haircut....
Anyone tried it.

I'm still hoping someone can tell me how to make lemon oil. :)
