Yet again the HOTChef has stumbled upon an unsung heroine of the herb garden! (I say heroine because of the subtle, mild and fragrant nature that is dill) Many <~~wishes had opportunity to write own!~~> cookbooks tell you only to use this beauty with fish ...PIFFLE!! ... It's Wondeful with chicken (maybe in a nice white wine and cream sauce), in rice (add the seeds whilst cooking, or stir in some of the feathery fronds JUST before serving. In curries (grind the seeds as a wonderful addition to your home made curry paste), Vegetarian/Vegan dishes etcetera ... etcetera
Try this...
Steam or poach a chicken breast >> leave to one side>>slightly 'burn'(yes I said burn)half a glass of white wine (in other words, leave it to boil dry until the residue on the bottom of the pan turns a sort of 'digestive colour!'>>add 1/2 shallot (finely chopped) and about 1 inch of celery (chopped)>>stir until brown from pan has been incorperated>>add 1-2 cloves of garlic and 1 closed mushroom (both chopped)[if you use an open mushroom it will cause your sauce to discolour]>>stir 1 min>>add 1 small container (you know the ones, ... about the same size as a pot of yoghurt)of whipping or double cream>>simmer until it begins to thicken,>> {{{{this will not have taken enough time for the chicken to cool down}}}} >>slice your chicken breats in to ~1/2 in. slices (crossways)[you should get about 7-8],>>fan them out over a bed of rice>> roughly chop a GOOD handful of DILL, - STIR IN TO THE NOW SIMMERING WINE SAUCE, POUR OVER YOUR CHICKEN 'N' RICE IMMEDIATELY mmmMMMmmm
Appearence --- Feathery, so pretty it can be used independently Aroma -------- Lovely ... very mild aniseed Flavor ------- 'liquerichy', or caraway'ish', but much more subtle Grows ---------MEGA easy from seed, then comes back every year. also smells lovey if you brush past it in the garden. Extra use------Tea!! very calming in black tea with lemon (iced is good)
