ELEGANT TARRAGON AND TOMATO BUTTER TEA SANDWICHES
These delightful and rather unusual tea sandwiches combine the delicate French herb tarragon, with ripe tomatoes, garlic and shallots - a change from the usual basil and tomatoes. The tomatoes are gently poached with all the seasonings until a thick puree or butter is obtained; the tomato butter is then cooled and you are left with a wondrous sandwich filling, bursting with flavour and colour! The butter can be used for all manner of things, including a topping for a pizza or for toasted sandwiches. Use fresh bread, white or wholemeal, and garnish with fresh tarragon leaves. Any excess butter can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. NB: Prep time includes chilling time for the butter.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: For the best tea sandwiches, use a light and fluffy bread that can hold up to the fillings. Some good options include white bread, wheat bread, or sourdough bread.
- Spread the butter evenly: When spreading the butter on the bread, be sure to do it evenly. This will help to keep the sandwiches from getting soggy.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can really elevate the flavor of tea sandwiches. Some good options include tarragon, chives, and parsley.
- Don't overfill the sandwiches: When filling the sandwiches, be sure not to overfill them. This will make them difficult to eat and may cause them to fall apart.
- Cut the sandwiches into small pieces: When serving tea sandwiches, cut them into small pieces. This will make them easier to eat and more elegant.
