Note
If fresh tarragon is unavailable, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon, added at the beginning of cooking to allow the flavors to release.
For a dairy-free version, use olive oil or a plant-based butter substitute.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
Ensure your asparagus stalks are trimmed of any woody ends before cutting.
