Tarragon Berry Slump with Anise Oat Crumble

Serves 5.

    Share

    Tarragon has a gentle licorice-like taste, marrying well with succulent summer berries in this berry slump. Underscoring the licorice notes is a crumble topping boosted with anise seeds. It’s as delicious for dessert as it is the next morning for breakfast.

    Tarragon can be replaced with basil or half the amount of thyme.
