Edible parts

Aromatic leaves
Recipe idea for your 'Fernleaf' dill harvest: prepare an herb butter to serve with hot vegetables. Let a small amount of butter soften, then fold in finely chopped fresh leaves. Remove the tough stems before mincing the foliage, and start with a small amount to gauge the aromatic intensity. Add a little lemon zest and pepper; add salt only if the butter is unsalted. Mix with a fork, place in a small ramekin, and refrigerate to firm up. Melt a small knob over hot potatoes, cooked corn, or roasted carrots just before serving. The amount of herbs can be adjusted according to the desired flavor; a light touch is often enough to start. The tender leaves should be chopped with a knife without being crushed for too long. Prepare a small portion of flavored butter and keep it cold in a sealed container. You can also freeze small dollops to add directly to hot vegetables.
