Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork loin - or - boneless skinless chicken
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 - shallots, minced
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine (may use white grape juice or apple juice)
  • 1 cup light cream or whipping cream

  • - salt and black pepper to taste

How To Make estragon geschnetzeltes in rahm (tarragon ragout)

  • Step 1
    Cut the pork or chicken into thin, 2- to 3-inch strips. Melt the butter in a skillet and brown the meat. Add the minced shallots when the meat is cooked halfway.
  • Step 2
    When the meat is no longer pink, add the wine and cook to reduce by 1/3. Add tarragon. Add the cream and cook until sauce is further reduced by 1/3. Taste the sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Serve over noodles or over boiled or mashed potatoes.
  • Step 4
    NOTE: Reducing a liquid is mostly guesswork. Simmer, uncovered, until it appears to be 1/3 less than it was before.
