Remarks
Kervallon is an area of the city of Brest (France), which in the late 18th century was a market garden where many vegetables were grown. Today, it's a very pleasant area, partly wooded, and home to numerous allotments.

If in step 8 you still can't obtain a homogeneous mixture after blending, add 2 tablespoons of cornflour diluted in a little cold water and thicken by whisking over the heat.
Keeping: 2 or 3 days in the fridge, in a closed container.
