I can’t claim it though. I was at a luncheon this last Saturday and this was on the menu and I had to find the recipe. I finally tracked it down and had to make it on Sunday. The origin of this recipe is unknown, but I’m glad I got my hands on it. I had never purchased shallots or tarragon but it was a new experience and I will be making this again.

I modified it a little bit, added more tarragon, more lemon and took out an ingredient. These flavors are just spot on and act as though they were made for each other.
