Tarragon
Tarragon is a vegetable ingredient used for flavor, color, or body. Cut size controls how fast it cooks, while surface dryness helps when browning matters.

Cut size controls cooking speed.
Small cuts soften quickly and spread flavor through a dish. Larger pieces keep more bite and shape. Dry the surface when browning matters, then season after tasting.
