Chef and last year’s Chef of the Year Simo Harrivaara understand very well that you don’t always have time or be able to make all the dishes yourself. Not even at Christmas.
If you want to give the shop’s ready-made lantula box some extra flavor, you should definitely implement it with Harrivaara’s tips.
Browned butter is a real secret weapon that makes food taste better than any other food, even a box of bacon. Browned butter is easy to prepare, so tuning a lantubox does not require a lot of effort.
A lantu box seasoned with browned butter and thyme
1 pkt (350 g) ready-made lantu box
1 tablespoon dried or fresh thyme
100 g of browned butter
1 dl whipped cream
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of panko flour
1. Turn on the oven to 175 degrees. Mix all the ingredients except the panko flour in a bowl until smooth and check the taste. Add salt if necessary.
2. Put the mixture in a greased ovenproof dish, shape the surface with a spoon and finally sprinkle panko flour on top.
3. Bake in a 175-degree oven without a lid for about 45 minutes, until the surface is golden brown.
Browned butter
100 g of butter
1. Melt the butter over low heat in a saucepan.
2. Turn the heat to full and let the butter heat up to 157 degrees, stirring occasionally. A thermometer is a good tool for this.
3. Immediately pour the browned butter into another bowl and let cool at room temperature.
