Instructions

Cook & Puree Food

Cook the onions by boiling (in water or stock), sautéing, steaming, or roasting until well cooked. Strain any liquid well.
Weigh ingredients.
Keep the different coloured capsicums separate to preserve their individual flavours and distinctive presentation.
Place each colour in a blender or food processor. Puree on high until smooth, scraping down sides as required.

Activate Shape It Powder

Place pureed onions and Shape It Powder into a saucepan, bring to the boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes, stirring as required.
For red onions: If the mixture appears pale in colour, add food dye until it reaches a more appetising shade of red.
Season to taste.

Pour into Mould & Set

Lightly spray the Shape It Half Sphere Mould 12mL or line a container with baking paper.
Pour the mixture into prepared Shape It Mould or container and spread evenly with a spatula to desired thickness. Cover with Mould Lid or cling film and refrigerate until set.

Store or Serve

Remove from mould.
Store in freezer or prepare to serve. If freezing, wrap each portion securely.
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.
