    Tarragon is a classic French herb with an anise-like flavour. Only available in the warmer months, use flat-leaf parsley instead if you can’t find it.

    INGREDIENTS

    3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
    100 grams softened butter
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    1⁄2 teaspoon finely
    grated lemon zest

    METHOD

    Finely chop the tarragon and combine with the remaining ingredients. Season well. Refrigerate to firm up a little. Spoon onto a piece of foil and roll up into a log. Refrigerate or freeze until firm.
