Cooking and preparation
Cook from frozen, without thawing. For frying: immerse in hot oil at 175-180°C for 3-4 minutes, until evenly golden; drain on absorbent paper and salt to taste. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 8-12 minutes, turning halfway, or in an air fryer at 190°C for about 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately, piping hot, to preserve maximum crispness.
Pairings
Perfect as a starter or part of a mixed Italian-style fry, it pairs with fresh sauces such as citrus mayonnaise, yoghurt sauce, aioli or a simple lemon reduction. Excellent for aperitifs, buffets and hot platters. It matches fresh white wines and sparkling wines, and enriches vegetarian menus and gourmet street food offerings.
Storage
Store at -18°C. Do not refreeze after thawing. Once cooked, consume immediately. Respect the cold chain from receipt to cooking: the product must be quickly transferred to the freezer upon delivery.
