broccoli, green beans & new potatoes in tarragon cream sauce

Where is the recipe from?

Waitrose's weekly newspaper, it's also online and can be found [HERE]

Ingredients & any changes made?

Purple sprouting broccoli, green beans, new potatoes, fresh tarragon, cream, white wine vinegar, dijon mustard, shallot.

Minor changes. I used tenderstem broccoli not purple sprouting, I didn't follow the exact quantities either as it was just for two of us and I didn't need to make a huge amount. This means the tarragon cream probably wasn't quite right, but let's face it, it's just mixing up a few ingredients and tasting to see if it tasted good or not. Pretty hard to mess that up. In hindsight I think I used a touch too much vinegar as it was quite sharp, but as suggested by the recipe I added in a sprinkle more sugar which seemed to correct it nicely.

Verdict?
Waitrose are putting out some great recipes at the moment, not a week goes by when I don't save at least one from the newspaper.
My favourite recipes are simple ones that just add something different to a plate of food. These were pretty dull ingredients, even though they were cooked simply by adding a creamy herb sauce it enhanced an otherwise ordinary Sunday roast chicken.
Tarragon isn't a herb I buy often or give much thought to, but I know I'll make this cream sauce again so it's time to think about growing some in my little herb garden.
Two mistakes on my part. I overcooked the shallot a bit. It was meant to be soft with no colour, mine ended up with too much browning but in the overall scheme of things it didn't matter.

The other mistake I made was forgetting to mix it so the sprinkled on shallots and sauce covered everything. Again, not exactly a huge problem as I'd made a decent amount of sauce so it seemed to cover most things anyway. But that is something you are told to do, mix it all in and coat with the sauce.
The empty plate tells you all you need to know. This recipe is a keeper.
