Ingredients and Directions

Narrow, pointed,dark green leaves distinguish this

perennial aromatic herb known for its distinctive anise like

flavor. Tarragon is widely used in classic French

cooking for a variety of dishes including chicken, fish and

vegetables, as well as many sauces, the best known being

Bearnaise. It's also an integral ingredient in various

herbal combinations such as Fines Herbes. Tarragon is

available fresh in the summer and early fall and

year−round in dried and powdered forms. Care should be

taken when using tarragon since its assertiveness can

easily dominate other flavors. Tarragon vinegar is a

popular item in gourmet markets.
