Tarragon Mushrooms

This is an easy side dish that brings along a new bold flavor, tarragon. Tarragon is an aromatic herb that tastes quite like anise. It’s fresh, light and has a touch of sweetness to it. Use sparingly if you have never used before as it can also be quite overpowering if you are not accustomed to the taste.

8 ounces mushrooms

3 tablespoons butter

1½ tablespoons tarragon, roughly chopped

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a heated pan, toss in the mushrooms, and sauté for 1 minute, then, add, roughly chopped tarragon leaves, incorporating evenly among the sautéing mushrooms for 2 more minutes. Just before taking the skillet off the burner, sprinkle mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste, toss again and serve right away. Voilà.

Serves 4 as a light side dish. This would also go well with my Spinach, Bacon, Onion and Goat Cheese Frittata
