Remove the mortadella and bring the mixture to boil.

Remove the garlic and bay leaves, then add again the milk and cream to the mortadella. When the temperature of the mixture is 60°C, purée it with a handheld blender.

Combine the egg whites with the Parmigiano Reggiano until you have a smooth mixture. Form into small balls and roll them in the peeled and chopped almonds. Fry at 160°C for 15 minutes.

Serve the soufflé and sauce over a pure pistachio sauce diluted with water and a sprinkle of Sichuan pepper.
