  • Use fresh tarragon. This herb has a unique flavor that pairs perfectly with tomatoes. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can use dried tarragon, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Make sure the olive oil is infused with tarragon. You can do this by heating the oil with tarragon leaves in a saucepan over low heat for about 10 minutes. Or, you can buy tarragon-infused olive oil.
  • Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper before stacking them. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a variety of colors and sizes of tomatoes. This will make your dish more visually appealing.
  • Serve the tomatoes at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.

Conclusion:

Stacked tomatoes with tarragon-infused oil is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or appetizer. The tomatoes are juicy and flavorful, and the tarragon-infused oil adds a unique and herbaceous flavor. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give stacked tomatoes with tarragon-infused oil a try.
