Salsa al dragoncello – tarragon salsa
Item 1 of 1
This summery salsa is very similar to the famous salsa verde, but switches parsley for tarragon for an aniseed flavour that pairs beautifully with chicken or fish. You can omit the anchovies to make the sauce vegetarian, if desired.

Dragoncello, or as we know it, tarragon, is a herb more often associated with French cooking than Italian, but pops up in many recipes from Siena in Tuscany. Similar to salsa verde, it is excellent drizzled over meat and in particular fish, due to its aniseed flavour.
