Dry Tarragon Leaves

Description

Tarragon is a slender-leafed herb that flourishes across most of Europe and Russia with mild anise-minty sweetness and hints of vanilla, basil, and fennel. Fresh tarragon elegantly enhances tender meats like chicken, seafood, sauces, and salad dressings. To preserve flavor, add leaves near the end of cooking. When dried, tarragon retains much aroma for seasoning compound butter, soft cheeses, mustards, and pickling vinegar. Tarragon delicately pairs well with shallots, garlic, and lemon, and makes a soothing tea.
