Steps for steamed squash ravioli
- The broth: start by making a dry caramel in a saucepan, which will be used to cook the broth. Deglaze with butter and add 10 cl of white wine. Reduce by half.
- Cut up the squash. Brown in oven at 180°C. Deglaze with wine. Transfer to saucepan with wine caramel, add cold water and cook over low heat for 2 h.
- Strain the stock, reduce further and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Stuffing: dice the butternut and fry in butter. Add the chopped garlic and parsley. Deglaze with a drop of white wine over high heat, then remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Saffron-infused butter: melt the butter with a clove of garlic and a few pistils of saffron. Leave to infuse.
- Squash purée: peel the squash and cut into 4 cm pieces. Lightly salt and oil, then bake at 180°C until nicely caramelized. Deglaze with wine, reduce the juices and remove from the heat. Blend the squash, gradually incorporating the infused butter until smooth. Remove from the blender and leave to cool.
- Add the saffron squash purée to the diced butternut, in equal quantities, to obtain a thick mass to use as stuffing for the ravioli.
- To make the ravioli: pour the boiling water gradually over the flour in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the sheet, and mix until you obtain a fairly homogeneous ball of dough (this step can also be done by hand). Divide into two dough pieces, wrap and chill in a cool place (the dough can also be made the day before).
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough thinly, generously flouring the work surface and the dough with cornflour, and cut out 9 cm circles with a cookie cutter.
- Finish: steam the ravioli, reheat the broth and serve with a segment of natsudaidai and a drizzle of pumpkin seed oil.
