TARRAGON RECIPES

BEARNAISE SAUCE RECIPE

Ingredients:

  • tarragon 100g. butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 80ml. tarragon vinegar. If not available, use wine vinegar.
  • 3-4 onions or shallots (Allium ascalonicum), chopped
  • Fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
  • Fresh parsley or fresh chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium), chopped
  • Crushed white peppercorns
  • Salt

Preparation:

  • Reduce tarragon vinegar with chopped shallots, tarragon, parsley and white pepper. Cook over medium heat until reduced by half.
  • When it is reduced, remove from heat.
  • Mix with butter and a little salt. Stir the mixture well.
  • Beat the egg yolks and add slowly to the mixture when this is warm stirring constantly. It is important for the mixture not to be at a high temperature, since the egg could be cooked. In contrast, if too cold, butter would be difficult to remove (solidify).
  • The mixture will emulsify and form a thicker texture as we mix it.
  • If the mixture has thickened too, water can be added (dropwise).
  • Garnish with a few leaves of tarragon or chervil.
  • Serve immediately as the mixture is still warm. If necessary, warm to bain Marie. Do not cool.
