What to do with a large bunch of dill?

[jrmd]

Used a little to make poached salmon. What should I do with the rest?

[GrillMaster]

Cold cucumber dill soup. My summer favorite.

[ClaireWalter]

Gravlax uses LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of fresh dill.

[charmedgirl]

Dill tossed with roasted carrots is delicious. I also second the dill and green bean idea. The recipe I have is green beans, radishes, dill and feta in a sherry vinegarette. Super good, super simple, super fresh summer recipe.

This recipe serves two:

I double fold two foot-long pieces of foil and to the right side of each I add about six quarter-inch slices of red potatoes in three rows. Top the potatoes with white fish or scallops, then top that with de-veined and tail-less large shrimp. Cover all with thin slices of lemon. Cut into four quarters one large ear of corn-on-the-cob and place two pieces end to end (vertically) to the right of the seafood. Mix a quarter stick of softened butter with fresh minced garlic and a generous amount of fresh dill and spoon the mixture over the corn and fish. Fold the foil to the right over all and seal edges well. Grill over medium-high gas or coals for seven minutes with potato-side down first, then flip and grill five minutes longer. Sooooo yummy and no cleanup!!

dill and green bean potato salad!
I don't have the recipe in front of me, but it's new potatoes, onion, dill, and fresh blanched green beans. Plus a basic vinaigrette - red wine vinegar, mustard, oil, salt and pepper. In the past I've added hard boiled eggs and tomatoes to change it up a bit.

Oh yes, you just reminded me! Fine Cooking has an amazing potato salad recipe if you're into the creamy kind. It always gets raves:

You can use it to make cucumber dill yogurt dressing. Just take greek yogurt, put in lemon juice, finely chopped dill, grated cucumber(minus the water), salt and pepper. Tastes really good! You can even grind it all to make it into a cucumber dill yogurt dip.

Maybe chop it up fine, soften some butter, mix it together and roll it into a little log. Then if you do some fish or veggies and want to add some flavor, the herb is already in with the butter. You can keep some of it in the freezer if it is too much for you to use within a reasonable timeframe.

Matzoh ball soup!

[missfunkysoul]

i love dill...

add it to soups, green salads, grain/starch salads (i love it in potato salad especially!), cucumber salad (1:1 sugar to vinegar, thinly sliced cukes and chopped dill), chicken salad, add to cream sauce and use for whatever, stir some into hummus, chop some and add to eggs/quiche...

and if you get sick of it, freeze with water in an ice cube tray for another day.

[ozhead]

Make gravad lachs. MMMmmmmmm

[sweetnspicy]

I add it to salads! Just cut it up if you have any cilantro or parsley they all add a nice fresh flavor to the salad

This cucumber salad is very good and uses dill...

[cocktailhour]

pickles are the only good use of dill (I don't really like dill). quick cucumber pickles: slices, vinegar, onion, a garlic clove, and dill.

[tartiflette]

Maybe dill soup? I had one the other day at a Hungarian restaurant which was a chicken-broth base that had been flavoured with lots of chopped fresh dill and a bit of lemon, and with rice mixed in to add body and make it more filling. I was very sad to see the bottom of my bowl, let me tell you. :)

[KeriT]

I like it in egg salad and chicken soup

How do the ideas in the Digest article strike your fancy? (links to 2 previous threads about using dill as well)

Dill rice is absolutely delicious. When I have goulash or paprikash, I sometimes like dilled noodles on the side as well.
