The dish, which is ready to eat either cold or after re-heating, is made from a starch-based foodstuff, such as pasta, rice, wheat or potatoes which can be raw, pre-cooked or dehydrated. The foodstuff is placed in a container and covered with a hot liquid, preferably at a temperature of over 70 degreesC, before sealing with a film material. The liquid can be water, stock, juice, puree, sauce or a cooked preparation, and once it has been poured over the product the container is sealed, allowed to cool, and then cooled to 0-8 degreesC or frozen at -15 to -20 degreesC. Before or during sealing, a gas such as steam, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or a mixture of these is injected into the container. |
