1. Finely process the toasted crumbs with the milk until it is completely smooth
2. Finely process the caramelised onions with the pickle until it is completely smooth
3. Texturise by mixing the toast puree with the onion pickle puree
4. Texturise the toast and onion pickle puree to the correct consistency so that it passes the IDDSI Fork Drip and Spoon Tilt tests

Grilled Cheese Puree

1. Finely process the cheese and cream mix so that it is completely smooth
2. Texturise the cheese infused cream to the correct consistency so that it passes the IDDSI Fork Drip and Spoon Tilt tests

Method

To make the Toast and Onion Pickle Puree:

1. Start by making the toast puree: Blend the bread to a fine crumb and bake in a hot oven, 200C, until dark golden brown in colour.
2. Return the toasted crumbs to the blender, add the milk and finely process until fully incorporated and the mixture is completely smooth.
3. The toast puree should pass the IDDSI Fork Drip test but will be too sticky to pass the IDDSI Spoon Tilt test. If the mixture is too firm, let down with a little more milk.
4. Transfer the toast puree to a bowl and cover with clingfilm. Ensure the clingfilm touches the surface prevent a skin from forming.
5. To make the onion pickle puree: Slice the onions and caramelise, in the oil, in a heavy based frying pan over a medium heat. This may take 10-15 minutes.
6. Once the onions are dark golden brown transfer to a blender, add the pickle and finely process until completely smooth.
7. Mix the toast and pickle purees together to finish the toast and onion pickle puree, which will no longer be sticky.
8. Carry out the IDDSI Fork Drip and Spoon Tilt tests and texturise with the addition of food thickener or milk as required.

To make the Grilled Cheese Puree:

1. Grate the cheddar and spread evenly on a silicon sheet.
2. Bake in the hot oven until golden brown and bubbling. Remove and allow to cool.
3. Place the cream and milk in a good sized pan, break up the now set baked cheese and stir into the mixture. Bring to a simmer over a moderate heat.
4. Immediately the mixture starts to simmer, remove from the heat and set aside to allow the grilled cheese flavour to infuse.
5. Wen cooled, strain the mix through a fine sieve to remove any pieces of cheese.
6. Return to a pan, season to taste, whisk in the Carrageenan Iota and bring back to the boil.
7. Once boiled pour the mix into a bowl and leave to cool.
8. Whisk the cooled and thickened grilled cheese puree and check the consistency using the IDDSI Fork Drip and Spoon Tilt tests.
9. If required, texturise by thickening or thinning down to the correct consistency.

Serving Suggestion: Layer the purees to resemble a sandwich on a plate or dish.
