Ingredients
- 2 stalks lemongrass
- 250 ml (1 cup) oil
- 2 French shallots, finely chopped
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- ¼ red chilli, finely chopped
- ½ telegraph cucumber, finely chopped
- 1½ tbsp finely chopped coriander
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- sea salt flakes, to taste
- espelette pepper, to taste
- ½ small bunch chives, finely chopped
- 1 tsp roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tsp finely sliced mint
- lime zest, finely grated, to serve
Ravioli
- 36 square egg wonton wrappers
- 1 egg white
- 500 g green king prawns, peeled, deveined
Instructions
- For the dressing, using a rolling pin or meat hammer, bruise the lemongrass stalks. Place into a small saucepan and cover with the oil. Simmer for 15 minutes, then leave to infuse for 24 hours.
- Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Strain the lemongrass oil and add 100 ml to the saucepan. Add the French shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the cherry tomatoes and red chilli and cook, stirring, until the chilli is fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
- Roughly chop the king prawns. Lay 18 wonton wrappers on a work surface. Using a pastry brush, brush with egg white, place a heaped tablespoon of prawns on the centre of each wonton wrapper.
- Top with another wonton wrapper and press down using the back of a 4.5 cm cutter to seal. Seal the wonton well to remove any excess air. Use a 6.5cm round cutter to trim any excess wonton pastry from the ravioli.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the ravioli, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they float to the top. Drain.
- Add the cucumber, 1 tbsp coriander and lime juice to the lemongrass oil tomatoes. Add extra lemongrass oil if desired. Season with salt and espelette pepper to taste, stir to combine.
- Divide ravioli between 6 serving bowls. Pour over the lemongrass dressing and garnish with the tomato and cucumber. Sprinkle with the remaining herbs, finely grated lime zest and espelette pepper.
