Condiments

Sep 2

Serious hack alert - a jar of chopped chives and green shallot tops that lasts weeeeeeks and rescues those nights of cannot be bothered.

Makes: About 1 jar

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: None

INGREDIENTS

bunch of chives

green tops of spring onions (shallots)

METHOD

Chop your chives and green shallot tops finely and pack them into a jar.

They last for weeeeeeks in the fridge, and become easy access for those nights of cannot be bothered.

HINTS

This is the laziest, highest-return prep in the fridge - five minutes on the weekend buys you fresh green all week.

Scatter them straight from the jar over eggs, soup, rice, pasta, potatoes - anything that needs a fresh green lift.

Keep the whites of the spring onions separately for cooking; it's only the green tops that go in this jar.
