Tarragon: Only the leaves are used of the tarragon plant which are available either fresh or dried. A favorite in French foods, tarragon’s aromatic, licorice-like flavor makes a great addition to chicken, fish, eggs, butter, vinegars, and soups. |

“Another article of cuisine that offends the bowels of unused Britons is garlic. Not uncommonly in southern climes an egg with a shell on is the only procurable animal food without garlic in it. Flatulence and looseness are the frequent results.” |
| Dr. T. K. Chambers, A Manuel of Diet In Health and Disease (1875) |
Strong flavours here - leeks sauted with olives and parsley - that
are reminiscent of French regional cookery. Lovely with a rice dish,
or with the crpes alla parmigiana parizzi.
Saut the sliced leeks gently in the olive oil, stirring, until they
begin to soften, about 6-8 minutes. Stir in the stock and bring to
the boil. Simmer gently, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add the olives and
the chopped parsley, and cook, stirring occasionally, for a further
3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and it is ready to
serve.
