Tarragon sauce

4 servings

10 minutes

Tarragon sauce is a refined and aromatic sauce of European cuisine that delights with its rich herbal flavor and spicy notes of garlic. Tarragon, known for its delicate, slightly anise-like undertones, gives this sauce a unique character. Historically, it has been widely used in French cuisine to enhance meat and vegetable dishes and is the base for the famous Béarnaise sauce. Its ease of preparation and natural ingredients make it an ideal complement to fish, white meat, or even fresh bread. The oily texture with a harmonious balance of wine vinegar's acidity and pepper's spiciness makes this sauce a wonderful choice for gourmets who appreciate subtle flavor nuances.
