chervil

Delicate French herb

Chervil is a delicate herb in the parsley family, with feathery leaves and a subtle anise-like flavor.

It's one of the traditional French *fines herbes*, used in omelets, salads, and light sauces.

Chervil wilts quickly under heat, so it's typically added at the end of cooking or used fresh: Garnish with fresh chervil just before serving.
