A recipe by Exec. Chef Clement Torrente


For the corn purée

Ingredients

  • 2kg fresh corn
  • 50g sliced shallots
  • 2g Thai chilli
  • 20g thyme
  • 35g salt
  • 1L water

Method:

  1. Soak the fresh corn, chilli, shallots and salt in a round pot and cook until dry
  2. Mix everything in a food processor until smooth and season to taste

For the rich dough

  • 150g flour type 00
  • 150g semolina flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 egg yolks
  • Water

Method:

  1. Mix all the ingredients to get homogeneous dough. The kneaded dough shouldn’t feel too dry or too hard, but rather soft and it should leave a humid sensation in your hands

  3. Pass the dough through a pasta machine and use semolina flour for dusting before leaving to dry

  3. Strain into a fine strainer to separate the oil and the purée.
  4. Keep the purée in sous-vide and cover with foil.

For the Tomato Salad and Corn

Ingredients

  • 100g cherry tomatoes
