Hi,
Happy Savory Saturday, flavor explorers!
Today, we’re diving into a herbaceous twist that might just surprise your taste buds, tarragon paired with sweet vegetables. Yes, it might sound unusual at first, but trust me, this combination works beautifully and can bring a refreshing new layer of flavor to your whole-food, plant-based meals.
Tarragon has a delicate, slightly sweet anise-like flavor and a fresh, aromatic scent. When you combine it with naturally sweet vegetables like carrots, beets, corn or sweet potatoes, something magical happens. Tarragon’s gentle herbal notes cut through the sweetness of these veggies, creating a balanced bite that’s vibrant, fresh and deeply satisfying.
Imagine roasted carrots lightly tossed with fresh tarragon or tender beets finished with a sprinkle of chopped tarragon for an unexpected lift. Even a simple corn and herb sauté becomes a standout when you fold in a handful of fresh tarragon. You can also add it to warm vegetable salads or grain bowls, where its bright flavor will instantly elevate the dish.
This Savory Saturday, let tarragon lead the way in your kitchen and discover how it can transform your sweet veggies into something truly special. Bold, fresh and totally plant-powered, it’s a pairing you’ll come back to again and again.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
