The ease of preparation and the dried tarragon make this recipe very appealing. My daughter wanted to try rabbit and I chose this recipe to prepare for her, and I'm glad I did. The meat was tender and the gravy delicious with smashed potatoes and green beans. This is a good basic recipe that can be adapted to many different types of meat to make a homey supper.
