Maresme Pearls (Peas) with Bellota Ham FISAN


Drawing on tradition, this recipe combines two products whose raw material provides the basis for its preparation: the best peas from the Mediterranean Maresme and the best bellota ham from Guijuelo. Indeed, a perfect dish.

350 g floreta variety peas

1 shallot

50 ml white wine

100 ml poultry broth

4 pea flowers

4 pea sprouts

 

 

FISAN Iberico Ham sauce:

 

1 kg FISAN Iberico Ham bones

2 pig’s trotters

1 onion

½ leek

1 carrot

1 parsnip

¼ celery

¼ bulb fennel

1 bulb garlic

50 g butter

ELABORATION

Sauce preparation:

 

In a pot, cover the Iberico ham bones and pig’s trotters with plenty of cold water.

Bring to the boil.

Discard the water and cover with fresh water, this time also adding the clean and chopped vegetables.

Leave to simmer over a slow heat for 6 to 8 hours.

Strain, defat and reduce until you obtain an oily and collagenous sauce.

Bind with butter to mellow and make it glossy. Set aside.

 

 

Panceta bacon covering layer:

 

Freeze the panceta bacon and cut a very thin layer with a slicer.

Place the panceta between sheets of baking paper for better handling. Set aside in the freezer.

 

 

Peas preparation:

 

Peel the shallot and chop it up very finely.

In a pot with a few drops of extra virgin olive oil, poach the shallot without letting it take colour.

Break the boil with a splash of white wine.

Add the peas and moisten with a few drops of poultry broth.
