Today is the last of our Tuesday herb conversations, a summer series that has spurred me on not just to grow herbs in my garden, but to use them in my kitchen as well. What herbs have you been growing and cooking this summer?
This week I came across a packet of herbs at the local market that had been grouped together to make Frankfurt's famed Green Sauce. Included were borage, parsley, sorrel, salad burnet, dill, chervil and chives, and on the paper wrapper was a simple recipe, calling just for cream, yogurt, salt and lemon juice. So I used my handy mezzaluna to mince the herbs, mixed in the other ingredients and then ate it with hard boiled eggs and boiled potatoes. It tasted even better thanthe meal that I ate in Oberrad, the home of Green Sauce.
As I have learned, even though Green Sauce is made with seven different green herbs, there's a lot of latitude as to which herbs to include. So at the end of the summer, when you've got lots of extra greens around, this is the perfect way to make use of them. And even though this dish is typically a spring meal, I think that it makes a great summer finale.
Here's a last look at the herbs we've grown and eater together:
