Chives are one of the hardest herbs to kill, which is great news for gardeners like me who have a tendency to forget to water them (or is that just me?). But seriously, chives are a great addition to any garden, and freezing them is a fantastic way to preserve their flavor and aroma for use in all your favorite dishes.
So, how do you freeze chives? Well, it's quite simple really - just chop them up, pop them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and stick them in the freezer. You can also add a bit of olive oil or water to the container to help keep the chives fresh, but that's about it - easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
But, be warned, frozen chives are not like fresh chives - they're more like the cousin of fresh chives, the one that's a bit more mellow and subdued. Don't get me wrong, they're still delicious, but they won't have the same punch as fresh chives. On the other hand, they're perfect for adding a bit of flavor to soups, stews, and sauces.
