Cook in a pan, sauté for 8-10 minutes with a small knob of butter, a spoonful of oil and a sprig of thyme. Deglaze with a splash of white wine and turn off.
Clean the shallots and finely chop them. Brown them in a pan with a spoonful of oil; add the passata, a pinch of salt and a sprig of rosemary and cook for 8-10 minutes. Drain the meat from any liquid released and mix it with the passata.

Drain them and place them on a cloth lying on the work surface.
