Tarragon is one of the more popular and versatile herbs lending an intense flavour to any number of tarragon recipes culminating in a unique blend of sweet aniseed and a mild vanilla.
Fresh tarragon is an essential ingredient over dried tarragon in many recipes. Look for leaves that are narrow, tapering and slightly floppy, growing from a long, slender stem.
It's also a key herb in French cuisine (it's an essential ingredient in sauce Bernaise), and goes very well with eggs, cheese poultry, fish and sauces.
Whether you use tarragon as a garnish, to elevate sauces, or infuse the flavours into your main dish here are five tarragon recipes that highlight its versatility.
