- 1 liter chicken stock
- 400 milliliters cream
- Salt and pepper
Pheasant Ravioli:
- 1 shallot
- Oil
- 200 grams roasted pheasant
- 200 grams roasted pumpkin
- 1 petit beurre biscuit
- 1 Tablespoon minced truffle
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
- 12 sheets pasta, fit for ravioli
Steamed Milk Foam:
- 1 liter milk
- Rock salt, to taste
- 4 sheets gelatin
Garnishes:
- Quince
- Enoki mushrooms
- Toasted pine nuts
- Truffle
Method:
For Hazelnut Cream:
Combine hazelnuts, chicken stock and cream; put mixture into
a blender until smooth. Heat up the mixture, then strain it.
Season it with salt and pepper and keep warm in a water bath.
For Pheasant Ravioli:
Lightly fry the shallot in oil. Place it into a blender with
the pheasant, pumpkin and biscuit. Remove the mixture from
the blender and add the truffle, egg, salt and pepper, stirring
to incorporate. Lay out the pasta, placing teaspoons of the
mixture around each sheet, leaving enough room to close the
ravioli. Seal the raviolis into little squares and set them
aside. Just prior to plating, briefly boil the raviolis and
strain them.
Steamed Milk Foam:
Boil the milk with the rock salt, adding the gelatin sheets
and leaving the mixture to coagulate. Put the mixture into
the foam canister and set aside.
To Assemble and Serve:
Chop the garnishes and place them in an irregular pattern
on the plates together with the raviolis. Place the foam on
the side, then add the cream sauce.
