- Place the chard on top and roll up the saddle.
- Vacuum-bake at 57°C for 2 h.
- Stuffed zucchini flowers: Separate the flowers from the zucchini and remove the pistils.
- chop 4 green and yellow zucchinis.
- Set aside. thinly slice the remaining 4 zucchinis.
- Cover and drop into hot olive oil, without browning.
- Once cooked, blend with the cream, egg yolks and basil.
