Note: The best way to reduce herbs to tiny pieces is not by chopping, which bruises the delicate leaves and sometimes makes them mushy. Buy a pair of scissors which you use only for this purpose. Snip the herbs crudely into a bowl, then snip them in the bowl with the tip of the scissors until they're fine enough.
