ELEGANT TARRAGON AND TOMATO BUTTER TEA SANDWICHES
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.

Steps:
- Blend all ingredients for the creamed butter to a fine, soft, spreadable consistency (salt and pepper to taste).
- With a small knife, make a small cross in the base of each tomato.
- Plunge the tomatoes into a pan of boiling water and count to 20.
- Remove them to a bowl of cold water, drain and peel off the skins.
- Butter 10 slices of bread with the creamed butter.
- Quarter the tomatoes and remove the seeds, press the petals flat and lay them on the slice of buttered bread.
- Do not layer the tomatoes, as they will cause the sandwiches to come unstuck.
- Salt and pepper the tomatoes and then press a second slice of bread firmly on to the top of the sandwich, crust and cut into appropriate shapes (should make 30 fingers or 40 squares or quarters).
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of the tomatoes you use will greatly impact the taste of your sandwiches. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slightly sweet smell.
- Use good quality bread: The bread you use should be sturdy enough to hold up to the sandwich fillings, but not so thick that it overpowers the other ingredients. A good option is a lightly toasted white or wheat bread.
- Spread the butter or mayonnaise all the way to the edges of the bread: This will help to keep the sandwich from getting soggy.
- Layer the sandwich ingredients in the following order: bread, butter or mayonnaise, tomato slices, cucumber slices, salt and pepper, and then the top piece of bread.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately: Tomato tea sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Conclusion:
Tomato tea sandwiches are a classic British teatime treat. They are simple to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their refreshing taste and delicate flavor, tomato tea sandwiches are the perfect way to enjoy a light lunch or snack.
