ELEGANT TARRAGON AND TOMATO BUTTER TEA SANDWICHES

Elegant Tarragon and Tomato Butter Tea Sandwiches image

These delightful and rather unusual tea sandwiches combine the delicate French herb tarragon, with ripe tomatoes, garlic and shallots - a change from the usual basil and tomatoes. The tomatoes are gently poached with all the seasonings until a thick puree or butter is obtained; the tomato butter is then cooled and you are left with a wondrous sandwich filling, bursting with flavour and colour! The butter can be used for all manner of things, including a topping for a pizza or for toasted sandwiches. Use fresh bread, white or wholemeal, and garnish with fresh tarragon leaves. Any excess butter can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. NB: Prep time includes chilling time for the butter.

To make the sandwiches ahead of time, prepare the butter mixture and spread it on the bread. Wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.
For a vegetarian version of the sandwiches, omit the smoked salmon and add some crumbled feta cheese or sliced avocado instead.
