Cooking tip from Jeppe Foldager

Deep flavour takes time

“

Make sure to give the ingredient time in the pan so you get a good caramelisation – especially with meat. That's where the deep flavour develops. Finish the cooking with a knob of fresh butter, a lightly crushed clove of garlic, and a few fresh herbs that you can baste over the meat at the end.
