I used Dried Tarragon that I got from the Spice dealer at Terminal Market, Philadelphia which worked just fine.
To Make Ahead: The dip can be rerfrigerated, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for up to 24 hours. Season with additional fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste before serving.

“Traditional patés are often made from high-fat meats and liver. They can be delicious and quite elegant, but less than nutritious. This vegetarian version is elegant, filled with flavor, and nutritious. Enjoy it on a special occasion or as an everyday spread with whole grain crackers.”

“This little dish makes a good mid-morning snack, especially for people trying to restrict their carbohydrate intake. Pestos are a great ingredient to have on hand; experiment with some of the more innovative varieties – just make sure to read the labels carefully.”

“This wonderful bean spread has gained in popularity over the past few years. Our version has all the benefits of a more traditional recipe, but with less olive oil. The combination of garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas), tahini, lemon juice, cumin and garlic is a show-stopper. This is wonderful as a sandwich spread or as a dip with raw vegetables or pita triangles. Keep a batch in your refrigerator all the time and you’ll never be without a nutritious snack or lunch.”

“Caponata is a Sicilian cish that can be served as an appetizer, salad, side dish or relish. It is most often served at room temperature, but it can also be served hot and it is an excellent vegetarian topping for pasta.”

“Couscous is a mildly nutty-tasting grain that comes from North Africa. It makes a great stuffing, especially for a small cavity like a mushroom, because it’s so moist. When the stuffed mushrooms are baked, the full flavor of the couscous and the mushrooms really come through. These will go fast!”

Note: When using larger or smaller shrimp, increase or decrease cooking times for shrimp by one to two minutes, respectively.
