If you have Tarragon in your yard, you are among the many that have discovered it's secret. It comes back every year and doesn't take long to become as big as you are!
It is misunderstood, and under used here in North America. With a mild licorice flavor, it is great to make flavored oil for use in your favorite salad dressings, or to sauté cabbage with. Simply wash, dry and slightly bruise a palmful of fresh tarragon. Pour warm oil of your choice over the tarragon. Store in a glass bottle in a cool, dark place. Alternatively, you can add the fresh leaves directly to a leafy green salad, it will give you a bright flavor in with the regular greens you choose.
In French cooking, you simply add tarragon to hollandaise sauce to make Bernaise Sauce, great with beef, and vegetables. Or try this recipe for Tarragon Chicken .
Happy Gardening!
