Ingredients

  • 1 pcs. Iberico Presa This one was 650 grams
  • 2 pcs. Baked Potato
  • 28 gram Oil Tasteless
  • 4 pcs. Potato
  • 30 gram Butter
  • Spices Salt, pepper, and fresh thyme
  • 100 gram Cauliflower
  • 100 gram Celery
  • 300 gram Milk
  • 300 gram Cream
  • 10 gram Butter
  • Spices Salt, pepper, lemon juice, vinegar

Instructions

Iberico Presa

  • Apply a little salt and plenty of pepper to the meat and vacuum-seal it.
  • Cook it sous vide/water bath for 3 hours at 57 degrees Celsius (135 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Remove the meat from the bag and dry it well - either with a tea towel or paper towels.
  • Heat a pan hard with neutral oil. When it's hot enough, add butter and brown the meat on both sides. It's now ready for serving. 
  • Presa
  • The meat juice from the vacuum bag can be saved and used for sauces or stews.
  •  
  • Peel the potatoes and slice them as thinly as possible. We use a mandolin slicer for this.
  • Chips
  • Soak them in water for an hour and then dry them well with a tea towel.
  • Chips
  • The potatoes should be tossed in melted butter, fresh thyme, and pepper. Then, they should be stacked on top of each other in a round cookie cutter and baked in the oven for 1 hour at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Potato
  •  
  • Dice the vegetables into small cubes and cook them in milk and cream until they are tender in a heavy-bottomed pot. This typically takes 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the cubes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables and place them in your blender/bowl for an immersion blender. Blend them with 1 dl of the liquid from the pot. Slowly add more of the liquid along with the butter and the liquid from the meat's vacuum bag. 
  • Transfer it to a new, heavy-bottomed pot and warm it through over medium heat. Season it with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and vinegar.
  • Puree
  • The puree is ready to serve.
  •  
  • Serve the dish with homemade chips or pickled red onions.
