Garlic Chives

As Chives are one of the prolific "fines herbes" of cooking, it's often used as a fresh garnish. Whether it's a baked potato, eggs of many varieties or to enhance a warm soup, chives are one of the few herbs that provide a mild onion flavor that isn't too overwhelming and compliments many dishes. Aside from being used as a garnish, you can also make chive butter, pesto, or even into a dressing! Use the fuschia-colored flower heads to add to a salad or lightly sauteed with a French omelet.
