Truffled honey and goat's cheese Tortellini with black tea soaked raisins, king prawns, and a burnt butter sauce
This is an impress your friends dish. Sounds fancy, but is relatively simple, and quick to assemble.
That being said, you've gotta get started early. As making the pasta is going to take a while, and you've got prawns to clean and devein...
Prep Time - 70 mins
Cooking Time - 15 mins
Flour (1 cup per person)
Eggs (1 egg per person)
Salt (Pinch)
Rolling pin or pasta making machine
250 grams of Goats cheese
Tablespoon of Honey
6 drops of Truffle Oil
Pot of Black Tea
Raisins
King Prawns, cleaned, deveined shells off, tails on
Stick of Butter
Pine Nuts
Start by placing two handfuls of raisins in some freshly brewed hot black tea. Cover and leave for one hour.
While the raisins are soaking, start to make the filling for the tortellini. Put 250 grams of goat's cheese in a bowl and mix in honey, and a few drops of truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and put aside.
Making the pasta is super easy, but takes a bit of effort. I could explain it but probably easiest for you to check out this legit Italian guy in a chef's hat. Please just follow his directions to the point where you have long thick strips of pasta as we are making tortellini not tagliatelle.
Once you have made the pasta into long flat strips, then use a circular bowl or cutter to create circular shapes about 10cm in diameter. Place a dollop of the mixture in the centre of the circle, then brush the very edges of the circle with water, or some whisked egg. Fold the base of the circle to the top of the circle and press the edges together making a semi-circle. From there grab the two ends of the circle and press together forming the tortellini.
Dust in a bit of flour, cover with a slightly damp towel, and start boiling some water for the pasta.
Place some oil in a pan, season and cook the prawns in a hot pan. Once they've turned slightly golden and curled up, put them in a warm oven whilst assembling the rest of the dish.
Start to cook some butter on a moderate heat to golden brown. Carefully cook the tortellini in the boiling water. You'll know they are done when they float to the surface. Place them on the plate, with the raisins, and prawns. Drizzle over the burnt butter, and serve with shaved parmesan, and roasted pine nuts.
