Steps:
- Purée herbs, oil, and salt in a blender until smooth, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Chill if not using immediately.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to ensuring your dish is delicious. Look for tomatoes that are plump and have a deep red color.
- Use fresh tarragon. Dried tarragon will not provide the same flavor as fresh tarragon. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can substitute another fresh herb, such as basil or oregano.
- Infuse the oil with tarragon overnight. This will give the oil plenty of time to absorb the flavor of the herb. You can also infuse the oil for a shorter amount of time, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for an olive oil that is extra virgin and has a fruity flavor.
- Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper before serving. This will help to enhance their flavor.
Conclusion:
Stacked tomatoes with tarragon-infused oil is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for summer. The combination of ripe tomatoes, fresh tarragon, and flavorful olive oil is sure to please everyone at your table. This dish can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
