Tarragon Asiago Pesto

written by STEPH June 10, 2017

This is a very unique and flavorful Tarragon Asiago Pesto.  It makes a great summer treat that can be serve on crackers or crostini, on a sandwich, pizza or even pasta.

Tarragon Asiago Pesto - #pesto #appetizer - CaliZonaI absolutely love tarragon!  I experimented with it in my restaurant but I really got in to it after my friend Erin gave me a bunch from her garden.  It’s such an interesting herb with its slight licorice, mint and hint of pine flavors.  What is really cool is that it’s actually a member of the sunflower family.

Tarragon Asiago Pesto - #pesto #appetizer - CaliZonaTarragon pairs nicely with a Sancerre or a Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand.  Tarragon Asiago Pesto - #pesto #appetizer - CaliZonaTarragon Asiago Pesto - #pesto #appetizer - CaliZona
