Discover chives
Chives have been known since ancient times in China and later became established in European gardens. Their slender green leaves offer a gentle onion-like flavour.
Chive frittata
Ingredients: 1 bunch chives, 4 eggs, 40 g Parmigiano Reggiano, 1 tablespoon lager, salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Beat the eggs with the cheese, beer and seasoning. Fold in the snipped chives, then cook in a lightly oiled frying pan until set, turning carefully to finish the other side.
In the kitchen
Snip the leaves finely over eggs, fresh cheese, potatoes or salads. Their mild flavour works well as a finishing touch.
Growing and practical tips
Chives are valued in kitchen gardens for their resilience to cold. Harvest the leaves with scissors.
