kholrabi ravioli . smoked ricotta . herb butter
This beautiful, summery dish took everyone by surprise when I served it at the last pop-up.
Imagine the contrast of the crisp, cool and refreshing kholrabi, with the creamy and flavoursome ricotta, and the oily and aromatic butter - it's top-notch delicious.
The kholrabi is sliced thinly on a mandolin and then given a very quick and light brine in water with a little salt and lemon juice - just enough to draw out a little moisture to enable the kholrabi to be flexible, but still lovely and crunchy.
It's filled with a flavoursome soy milk 'ricotta', which is flavoured with extra virgin olive oil, nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, mint, coriander and basil.
The butter is made using the same herbs (mint, coriander and basil), and my favourite organic and junk-free butter; Naturli.
It'll most definitely be back in the menu again the future. Maybe even with other veg when kholrabi is out of season, like beetroot or celeriac!
