Tips

  • It all starts with a simple butter rub made with lots of fresh tarragon, caramelised shallots, garlic and lemon zest and it really keeps the meat super moist and full of flavour.
  • It’s the super easy hands-off method to ensure a beautiful crispy skin and tender meat.
  • A little splash of cream in the pan juices and you're done!
