    Tarragon Sauce Recipe

    How to Make a Delicious Tarragon Sauce at Home

    Tarragon, also known as the dragon herb, is a perennial herb indigenous to Asia. It is also one of the key ingredients in this tarragon sauce recipe that will enjoy with meats and seafood.

    It has narrow, pointed, green leaves with a potent anise flavor. Tarragon has been a fixture in classical French cuisine for centuries. It is used with chicken, fish, eggs, salads, sauces, vegetables and to make the renowned tarragon vinegar.

    Tarragon is one of the herbs that compose the famous French admixture known as fines herbs, (pronounced FEEN ERB), along with chervil, chives and parsley. Use fresh tarragon in this recipe. The dried version tends to be insipid.
