Slightly sweet with a hint of anise, this herb is great in sauces, dressings, and with chicken or fish. French tarragon has a warm, and anise-like flavor with a velvety, slightly sweet finish that is delightful in sauces, dressings or with chicken, and fish. Pairs beautifully with seafood, eggs, mustard, white wine, and cream-based sauces. Add fresh at the end of cooking to preserve its delicate licorice-forward oils.
