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
