Treat your ingredients with care...
- Salmon — Ensure the salmon fillet is finely chopped to achieve a consistent texture in the filling.
- Cod — Remove any skin and bones from the cod fillet before chopping.
- Shrimp — Make sure the shrimp is peeled and deveined before using in the filling.
- Faroese butter — Use high-quality Faroese butter for its distinct flavor. If unavailable, substitute with a good-quality unsalted butter.
- Dill — Fresh dill is recommended for its vibrant flavor. If unavailable, dried dill can be used, but reduce the quantity by half.
Tips & Tricks
- To save time, the pasta dough can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until ready to use.
- Experiment with different seafood combinations, such as adding mussels or scallops to the filling.
- For a lighter version, the ravioli can be served with a simple lemon and olive oil dressing instead of the creamy sauce.
- If you prefer a stronger dill flavor, add a teaspoon of dried dill to the creamy sauce.
- Serve the ravioli with a sprinkle of grated Faroese cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
Serving advice
Serve the Faroese Seafood Ravioli as a main course accompanied by a fresh green salad and crusty Faroese bread.
Presentation advice
Arrange the ravioli on a plate, drizzle the creamy sauce over them, and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill. The vibrant colors of the seafood filling and the creamy sauce will create an appealing visual contrast.
