Abstract

A method for the production of deep-frozen dishes or meals of the hot-pot or casserole type wherein the dish mixture comprises particles of deep-frozen at least partially cooked, vegetables and a dry thickening agent which method comprises binding the thickening agent to the vegetable particles with a liquid granulating agent to form a uniform granular dish mixture.

Description

The invention relates to a method of producing deep-frozen dishes or meals of the hot-pot or casserole type.
The hitherto known methods for the production 5 of dishes have the disadvantage that individual portions cannot be taken from the packages without involving a loss in quality, either because too little or too much seasoning agent has been removed therewith. In many dish mixtures the seasoning element has even been added in the form of cubes. With this type of presentation the removal of individual portions is not in any case possible, unless the cube is divided up, which nevertheless would not allow accurate measuring out.
The present invention solves these problems, since it makes possible the production of a free-flowing dish mixture which merely has to be mixed with water to give a savour/meal.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a method for the production of deep-frozen dishes or meals of the hot-pot or casserole type wherein the dish mixture comprises particles of deep-frozen, at least partially cooked, vegetables and a dry thickening agent, which method comprises mixing the thickening agent with the vegetable particles wherein a liquid granulating agent is added to the thickening agent before the mixing step to form a uniform granular dish mixture after the mixing step.
The mixture preferably consists of deep-frozen . vegetables, which are merely previously blanched, together with other ingredients precooked to a greater or lesser extent, such as potatoes, peas, lentils and other legumes. Additionally, this mixture has a dry thickening agent added co it, which preferably already incorporates flavouring and 8 3 4 7 aromatic substances.
If necessary, fat can be incorporated into this dry thickening-agent mixture, this primarily being carried out for the purpose of adding flavour.
It is possible to use both vegetable fat and animal fat. The fat may also be omitted, if this is required for dietary reasons. The addition of precooked meat to this mixture is also possible. However, the dish is also ready for consumption without the addition of meat, so that the addition of meat may be omitted.
A novel'feature of the present method is also the precooking of legumes, such as peas, lentils, and their subsequent freezing. In this way a uniform cooking time of the entire mixture is achieved.
The potatoes intended for the mixture may be produced in various cut sizes. They are precooked within a temperature range of between 60 and 80°C and are then frozen. The characteristic potato quality for the subsequent mixture is obtained thereby.
The dry ingredients of the mixture, for example potato flakes, pea powder and other starch, are mixed with a proportion of water of preferably at least 20% and at maximum 4θ/, so as to produce distinct granules.
Liquid fat may also be incorporated into this dry mixture, if this is necessary. Of course, the mixture is also utilisable without fat.
The corresponding dry/water or fat mixture -48347 pieferably already incorporates at least one aromatic ingredient or flavouring, as well as herbs, seasonings, salt and other flavour-enhancing substances.
The granules described above are mixed according 5 to taste with the pre-cooked potatoes and/or with rice and/or pasta, with the deep-frozen vegetables usually used commercially, in which case the proportion of dry matter to vegetables includes generally between 15 and 25% dry mixture.
The adhesion of the specially produced granules to the deep-frozen vegetables is important for the present invention, since segregation of the different ingredients is largely prevented thereby and thus measuring out of individual portions from this mixture is readily possible.
It is thus possible to remove any amounts desired from the above-described mixture and to prepare them with the specified quantity of water. Therefore, the manufactured product can be measured out at will in any amount, in contrast with hitherto known products.
EXAMPLES Sample recipes are set out in the following examples (a) French-bean dish, water-based The end product consists of French beans, greens, potatoes and binding-agent mixture.
The French beans and greens are already 8 3 4 7 deep-frczen.
The raw, peeled potatoes are diced for subsequent processing in the end product and are cooked in a time-controlled and temperature-controlled cooking vessel, then drained and frozen.
The ingredients of the binding-agent mixture consist of dried potato flakes, water, starch, flavouring and seasoning.
The dry materials of the binding-agent mixture are ‘uniformly mixed by means of a mixing granulator. The mixture is granulated by the addition of water.
All the ingredients of the dish are placed in a mixer. The mixing process is completed when the ingredients have been uniformly distributed among one another and the binding-agent adheres to the vegetables. (b) Pea-soun. fat-based.
The corresponding product consists of green pea shucks, peas, greens, potatoes, carrots and binding-agent mixture.
The peas and greens as well as the carrots are already deep-frozen. The carrots are also diced.
For subsequent processing in the end product, the dried pea shucks are cooked in a time and temperaturecontrolled cocking vessel, then are cooled, drained and frozen. 8 3-17 The raw, peeled potatoes are diced fcr subsequent processing in the end product and are cooked in a tine and temperature-controlled cooking vessel, then drained and frozen.
The ingredients for the binding-agent mixture consist of dried potato flakes, dried pea puree, liquefied fat, starch, flavouring and seasoning.
Ihe dry materials of this mixture are uniformly mixed by means of a mixing granulator.
The mixture is granulated by the addition of the liquefied fat. The mixture and fat should have a uniform temperature during production process.
All the ingredients mentioned here are placed in a mixer. The mixing process is completed when the ingredients have been uniformly distributed among one another and the binding-agent mixture adheres to the vegetables.

Claims (13)

CLAIMS:
1. A method for the production of deep-frozen dishes or meals of the hot-pot or casserole type wherein the dish mixture comprises particles of deep-frozen, 5 at least partially cooked, vegetables and a dry thickening agent, which method comprises mixing the thickening agent with the vegetable particles wherein a liquid granulating agent is added to the thickening agent before the mixing step to form a uniform granular 10 dish mixture after the mixing step.
2. A method for the production of deep-frozen dishes or meals of the hot-pot or casserole type wherein the dish mixture consists essentially of previously-blanched vegetables with other ingredients 15 pre-cooked to a greater or lesser extent, such as potatoes, peas, lentils or other legumes, and/or rice and/or pasta, into which a dry thickening agent optionally containing at least one flavouring and aromatic substance is incorporated, which method 20 comprises providing a granular substance formed of a liquid granulating agent and the thickening agent to adhere to the deep-frozen vegetables so that any segregation of the different ingredients can be largely prevented and measuring out of individual portions from the mixture is possible.
3. A method as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 wherein fat is incorporated into the dry thickening 5 agent.
