A French omelet, a roast chicken, or a pan of buttery scrambled eggs takes on a quiet elegance the moment tarragon joins it. This is the anise-scented herb behind classic French cooking, sweet and grassy with a gentle licorice note that flatters eggs, chicken, and cream. Whisk it into a mustard vinaigrette, stir it through softened butter for fish or steak, or fold it into chicken salad with a little lemon. It is the defining flavor of Bearnaise, the warm French butter sauce, and it turns weekend eggs into something restaurant-worthy.
Tarragon anchors the herb traditions of French kitchens as one of the fines herbes, the classic French group of delicate herbs used to lift light dishes. It surprises in sweet cooking too, playing against blueberries and blackberries in a simple dessert. We pack our tarragon fresh in small batches in Portland, so its anise perfume and green color stay intact rather than fading flat.
