tarragon

Anise-flavored seasoning leaf

Tarragon is an aromatic herb with slender, slightly anise-flavored leaves, used especially in French cooking.

It flavors vinegar, mustard, and béarnaise sauce: chicken with tarragon, tarragon butter.

The plant grows in bushy clumps and is best used fresh, as drying mutes its distinctive flavor.
