New Nordic Chicken Ravioli with Herb-infused Broth

Ingredients

In the original Italian dish, Ravioli di gallina, the ravioli are typically served in a rich tomato-based sauce. However, in this New Nordic adaptation, the tomato sauce is replaced with a light and herb-infused broth, which is a characteristic feature of Nordic cuisine. Additionally, the filling of the ravioli incorporates Nordic herbs and ricotta cheese, adding a unique Nordic twist to the traditional chicken filling.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Nordic herbs — Use fresh herbs whenever possible to maximize the flavor. If fresh herbs are not available, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.
• Wonton wrappers — If you can't find wonton wrappers, you can make your own pasta dough using a mixture of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Roll out the dough thinly and cut it into squares to use as wrappers.

Tips & Tricks

• To enhance the flavor of the broth, you can add a splash of white wine or a squeeze of lemon juice.
• Experiment with different Nordic herbs to find your preferred flavor combination.
• If you prefer a richer broth, you can add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche to each serving.
• Serve the ravioli with a side of Nordic pickled vegetables for added freshness and acidity.
• If you want to make the dish more substantial, you can add cooked Nordic root vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips, to the broth.

Serving advice

Serve the New Nordic Chicken Ravioli with Herb-infused Broth in shallow bowls to showcase the vibrant colors of the ravioli and the aromatic broth. Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh Nordic herbs for an extra touch of freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the ravioli neatly in the center of each bowl and pour the herb-infused broth around them. Drizzle a swirl of high-quality Nordic olive oil on top of the ravioli and sprinkle a pinch of Nordic sea salt for added visual appeal. Serve the dish immediately to ensure the ravioli remain tender and the broth stays hot.
