Method

Put the garlic, rapeseed oil and tarragon stalks into a wide saucepan with about 3 tbsp water. Season well and bring to the boil. Add the girolles, cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 3-4 minutes, turning them with a spoon every so often. Take off the heat, remove the lid and leave to cool
