• 50 g dry white wine
• 100 g prosciutto, roughly chopped
• 100 g mortadella, roughly chopped
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Place Parmesan cheese into the clean and dry mixing bowl. Grate 10 sec / Speed 10. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
2. Add pork cubes and olive oil to the mixing bowl. Sauté 10 min / 120°C / Speed 1. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula.
3. Add white wine to the mixing bowl. Cook 10 min / 100°C / Speed 1, removing the measuring cup and placing the simmering basket on the lid to allow evaporation.
4. Transfer the cooked pork to a separate bowl to cool slightly for 10-15 minutes.
5. Add the cooled pork, prosciutto, and mortadella to the mixing bowl. Process 10-15 sec / Speed 7, or until a finely ground mixture is achieved. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
6. Add the grated Parmesan, egg, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl. Mix 20 sec / Speed 4 / Reverse.
7. Transfer the filling to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to fill tortellini. This allows the flavours to meld and the filling to firm up, making it easier to work with.
