Chive Blossom Vinegar
One morning while I was working at abcV as a cook, I walked past my coworker who was delicately plucking these vibrant purple chive blossoms. Having never heard of chive blossoms before, my curiosity was piqued, and I eagerly sought to learn more about them.
To my surprise, a few days later, my Executive Sous Chef placed a ramekin of chive blossom vinegar on my dosa workstation, which inspired me to create my own. Chive blossom vinegar is versatile, adding flavor to dressings, stir-fries, soups, and even compound butter.
Despite their delicate appearance, chive blossoms pack a punch with their robust onion flavor. Despite their delicate appearance, chive blossoms pack a punch with their robust onion flavor.

- 1 cup white wine vinegar
Instructions
- Separate the chive blossoms from the stalks and give them a thorough rinse.

Notes
Similar to squash blossoms, chive blossoms may harbor tiny bugs, so it’s important to rinse them thoroughly.
