How this recipe comes together

Throughout the cooking time, your home will be infused with the scent of garlic and fresh herbs, setting the stage for a delightful mealtime.
What you’ll need
To whip up this savory dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1200 g pork fillet
- 30 g fresh herbs (a mix of parsley, thyme, and rosemary works wonders)

- 80 g breadcrumbs
Feel free to get creative here! If you’re low on fresh herbs, dried herbs can be used in a pinch, though I recommend using about a third of the amount since they are more concentrated.
