Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. Water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Proceed as above, except that, instead of chopping it, compress it between the fingers and slice it after the manner of a chaff-cutter.
  2. Concassed and chopped chervil are, if possible, only prepared at the last moment.
  3. Chervil Pluches.—The pluches are greatly used in the finishing off of soups.
  4. They are, practically, the serrated portions only of the leaves, which are torn away in such a manner as to show no trace of the veinings.
  5. They are immersed in water, and at the last moment withdrawn, so as to be added, raw, to either soups or boiling consommés.
