  3. 3

    Lower the heat, add Garlic and Black Peppercorns, and cook until translucent and sweet, stirring in the pan juices.

  4. 4

    Add the herbs and wine, simmer to deglaze, and reduce until sharply aromatic.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the black peppercorns in the oil before adding anything wet.
