Wow! This was delicious!! Took very little effort to prepare and the outcome is very rewarding. I followed the recipe and it turned out great. The sauce is to die for! Love the taste of the tarragon with the mustard. Served with sauteed zuccini and jasmin rice. Will definitely make again! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
