Today I went out into the rain and snipped off numerous chive clumps. Got them just in time- tiny flower buds are just forming. These chive leaves were rinsed and chopped or scissored small. They will be put in small baggies and covered with olive oil, rolled up, dated, and the small bags frozen inside a bigger freezer bag.
Throughout the year these are a go-to seasoning for soups, fish (great in tuna salad!), and anything that just needs a little onion, like baked potatoes.
I am so grateful for perennial food plants that allow for early fresh food in this cold bit of Alaska. The potatoes are't even showing yet, and the first pea plants just made an appearance.
