Description
Organic Tarragon for Sauces, Chicken, Fish and Vegetables
Mabura Organic Tarragon is a gently dried and crumbled culinary herb with a distinctive sweet, aromatic and lightly bitter flavour. Tarragon is particularly popular in French-inspired cooking, where it is used to give sauces, poultry, fish and egg dishes a more elegant herbal character.
Its flavour is more delicate than many robust Mediterranean herbs. Instead of dominating a recipe, tarragon adds a subtle layer of sweetness, freshness and gentle spice. It is an excellent choice when you want to make a simple cream sauce, roast chicken, omelette or vegetable dish feel more refined.
The package contains only crumbled organic tarragon, making it easy to season food without preparing or chopping fresh herbs.
What Does Tarragon Taste Like?
Tarragon has a distinctive flavour that is difficult to replace with another single herb. Its aromatic profile is often described as:
- gently sweet,
- mildly spicy,
- lightly bitter,
- fresh and herbal,
- subtly reminiscent of anise.
Because of its characteristic flavour, a small amount is usually enough. Start with a modest quantity, taste the dish and add more only when needed.
How to Use Dried Tarragon
Organic dried tarragon can be used directly from the package. Gently crush the leaves between your fingers before adding them to release more of their aroma.
Start with approximately half a teaspoon for a dish serving two to four people. Tarragon can become prominent when used generously, so it is better to build the flavour gradually.
For creamy sauces, dressings and egg dishes, add the herb towards the end of cooking. For slow-cooked poultry, soups or stews, it can be added earlier so that the flavour has time to develop.
Perfect for Chicken and Poultry
Tarragon is particularly well suited to chicken, turkey and other mild poultry dishes.
Use it in:
- creamy chicken sauces,
- roast chicken,
- chicken marinades,
- chicken and mushroom dishes,
- poultry stuffing,
- chicken salad,
- pan sauces made with cream, butter or mustard.
For a simple sauce, combine tarragon with cream, mustard, black pepper and a small amount of lemon juice. Serve it with grilled or pan-fried chicken.
Ideal for Fish and Seafood
The herb’s delicate sweetness works well with mild fish and seafood without masking their natural flavour.
Try it with:
- white fish,
- salmon,
- prawns,
- mussels,
- fish cakes,
- creamy seafood sauces,
- fish marinades,
- homemade tartar-style sauces.
Tarragon pairs especially well with butter, lemon, cream and mild mustard.
Excellent with Eggs
A small pinch of tarragon can give egg dishes a distinctive French-inspired flavour.
Add it to:
- scrambled eggs,
- omelettes,
- quiche,
- egg salad,
- baked eggs,
- savoury breakfast dishes,
- mayonnaise-based sandwich fillings.
Mix the dried herb into the eggs before cooking or sprinkle a small amount over the finished dish.
Use in Sauces and Salad Dressings
Tarragon is traditionally associated with creamy sauces, butter sauces and herb dressings. It is one of the defining herbs used in classic béarnaise-style sauces.
It can also be mixed into:
- vinaigrettes,
- mayonnaise,
- yoghurt dips,
- herb butter,
- mustard sauces,
- cream sauces,
- white wine sauces,
- marinades.
For an easy tarragon dressing, combine olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper and a small pinch of dried tarragon.
Tarragon for Potatoes and Vegetables
Although it is often associated with meat and fish, tarragon is also an excellent seasoning for vegetable dishes.
It works particularly well with:
- potatoes,
- carrots,
- asparagus,
- mushrooms,
- peas,
- green beans,
- courgettes,
- onions,
- spinach.
Mix it with melted butter or olive oil and spoon it over boiled potatoes, roasted carrots or steamed vegetables.
Simple Tarragon Butter
Create an aromatic finishing butter by mixing:
- 50 g softened butter,
- ½ teaspoon dried tarragon,
- a small pinch of salt,
- black pepper,
- a little lemon zest.
Leave the mixture for approximately 15 minutes so the dried herb can soften and release its flavour. Serve the butter over chicken, fish, vegetables or warm bread.
