While shopping the other day, I noticed in the fresh herb section a reduced price on tarragon. I have never used it before and thought I better pick it up and try it out. I had a small amount of parsley, some fresh basil from a plant on my counter, and this tarragon. Here is the recipe I came up with:
equal amounts of fresh tarragon, basil, and parsley (about 2 T each)
several cloves of garlic
1/2 t. capers
fresh ground pepper
a tiny bit of anchovy paste
olive oil
sesame seeds
I put everything in the blender but the olive oil, and added it enough to blend it together. I didn't worry too much about liquifying the sesame seeds, as they give the paste a sense of visual interest. We roasted chicken with this meal and put the "green stuff" on the side as a condiment. 6/6 of the kids ate it. Even my one year old was asking for "more sauce." I think it would also taste delicious mixed with butter and spread on french bread and broiled. It ended up being sort of like a pesto sauce without the pine nuts and cheese. Enjoy!
