Instructions

Pasta dough:

  • Sift the flour onto a work surface. Press a large indentation in the middle. Whisk eggs and yolks in a small bowl and pour into the well.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for at least 1 hour.

Filling:

  • Cut the remaining meat into small pieces and place in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
  • When the meat is slightly frozen, it is finely pureed with the cream, egg and toast in a blender, then put the raw mixture in the refrigerator. When the cooking time is complete, remove the boiled beef from the broth and let it cool down.
  • Peel the carrots and celery of the second bunch of soup vegetables, cut into small cubes and blanch for a maximum of 1 minute in boiling salted water, then drain.
  • The cooled boiled beef is also cut into small cubes. Then mix the diced boiled beef, the blanched vegetables, the mixed boiled beef with salt and pepper and fill into a piping bag with a perforated nozzle.
  • Now, for the ravioli production, roll out the pasta dough using a pasta machine. Always cut a rolled-out sheet of dough in 2 halves, one for the bottom and one for the lid.
  • Then the lid is placed on the lower strip and lightly pressed with your hands around the piles.
  • Use a round, sharp-edged object to cut out the ravioli. Now cook the ravioli in salted water for 4-5 minutes. Just before serving, warm up the ravioli in a pan with butter.

Horseradish Sauce:

  • Cut the shallot very finely, fry in butter until translucent, reduce with white wine until almost nothing is left of the liquid.
  • Warm up the sauce briefly before serving, season with horseradish again and pour over the finished ravioli.

Lingonberry Pearls:

  • Place the oil in a tall, narrow container in the freezer for about 40 minutes. Bring the wild lingonberries with the port wine to the boil and finely puree, strain through a sieve.
  • Bring the sifted lingonberry mixture to the boil, add agar-agar and stir until it has dissolved. Then bring to the boil again.
  • Pour the liquid into a squirt bottle or syringe. Remove the oil from the freezer and slowly drip the cranberry mixture into the oil.
  • Let the cranberry caviar cool down briefly. Carefully scoop out of the glass through a sieve and rinse with cold water.
