Mushroom confit with peas

Ingredients

  • 2 mushrooms 
  • 30 g of fresh peas
  • 10 ml of meat sauce
  • 200 ml of smooth olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 sprig of thyme

Preparation

To prepare mushroom confit with peas, start by cleaning the soil from the mushrooms with the help of a wet cloth. Then, cut the mushrooms into equal pieces and vacuum pack with the thyme, the garlic and the oil.

Cook the mixture in the SmartVide sous-vide cooker at 85ºC for 1 and a half hours. (As this mixture is pasteurised, it can be kept in the fridge for over one month).

In this recipe, the sous-vide technique helps to control the cooking process and enhance the flavours and aromas of the product. Furthermore, given the temperature and cooking time, the final product is pasteurised.
