Instructions

Cook & Puree Food

Sauté the bacon over low heat until it softens and turns light brown.
Once cooked, remove the bacon and let it drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
Weigh all ingredients.
Chop the cooked bacon and place it into a blender.

Activate Shape It Powder

In a saucepan, combine Shape It Powder and stock. Bring to the boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes, stirring as required.
Pour the hot Shape It mixture over the hot bacon in the blender. Puree until smooth and combined, scraping down the sides as required.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Pour into Mould & Set

Place the bacon mixture between two sheets of cling wrap. Roll to your desired shape and thickness.
Refrigerate until set.

Store or Serve

Store in fridge or freezer and prepare to serve.
To reheat, refer to the Shape It Reheating Guide.
Before serving, test for IDDSI Level 4 Pureed: To test, use the Spoon Tilt Test and Fork Drip Test. It should be smooth and free of lumps. For more information on IDDSI testing, click here.

Notes

Chef Tips:

Brush parts of the bacon with Parisian Essence to create a crispy, golden appearance. This will enhance its visual appeal and make the bacon look even more appealing on the plate.
