Chicken, Tarragon & Miso Consommé / Broth Recipe
The first time I tasted miso and tarragon together, I immediately thought of roast chicken. There was something about the umami and herb combination conjures up flavours of roast dinners, which was the inspiration behind this warming broth. Familiar flavours but with a twist of miso for depth and nutrition.
This recipe is hardly a recipe. just add your leftover roast meats and some tarragon for a clean and nourishing broth that tastes like you have been simmering this for hours, but does in fact only take 10 minutes. Super speedy lunchtime snack, add a handful of noodles for more body.
Choose unpasteurised miso here for more depth and nutrition.

Notes
You need a sieve and some kitchen paper or clean tea towel to pass the dashi.
If you leave the kombu in boiling water for too long, it can make the dashi slimy and bitter-tasting
The hydrated kombu can be used as a garnish. Simply cut them into thin slices and add them to noodle soups or on top of plain rice.
