I'm going to do a lobster ravioli I'll use the trimmings of the lobster the
claws the knuckles and those nice little dainty legs that you thought were just
for the bisque no chance when you squeeze the lobster meat now there
you'll be surprised so start off 1 spoon of the pureed salmon and it's literally
blitz in a blender or finely chopped and you add 1 egg white to it which forms
its really nice strong sort of mousse and then we bring the lobster knuckles
the claws and all the unwanted bits and I think this is the most important part
from a chess point of view is that you know every ounce of ingredient that
comes into that kitchen we need to make money on you could be the best chef in
the world how should we really look five years later going bust every product
every herb every protein every bottle of wine needs to have a sellable tangible
value on it in order to keep that business afloat and it's just as
important if you're a home chef as well you buy one hundred and fifty dollars
worth of groceries every week then that needs to stretch to family or six or
family four depending on what you're doing and so you cannot afford to waste
if there's one thing that I grew up with very early on and that was respect
ingredients so much that you wasted nothing now look what's happened I've
got my lobster let's call them scraps lobster knuckle lobster claw bound
together now by the salmon so the little bits of salmon that we didn't use blend
mix that with an egg whites and then puree the salmon and look it holds this
wonderful glue for your ravioli mix now from there lightly seasoned it lightly
salt pepper lemon and let's just take it up a notch with some herbs now what goes
beautifully with lobster it could be a basil
chervil cilantro would never put rose in your timing there's too strong too
powerful so I like getting some basil leaves and from there
literally find your largest leaf and then stick the little ones in size and
I'll show you why so lay them on top like that and then literally roll them
up nice and tight almost like a cigar and then slice it nice and finally I'd
like the basil to perfume the inside of that ravioli mix I don't want to bruise
it raise a sharp knife and look are these nice thin shards of fragrant basil
but when cutting herbes look I want the goodness left in the herb I don't want
the darkness on the board every time you see chefs over chopped
herbs this dark green board is the most fragrant board anywhere in the world and
the herbs give you nothing so slice them chop them once into the mix and then
what else does it need it needs acidicy(Lemonish flavor) so roll your lemon when you roll a lemon
or a lime like this it makes it so much more Juicy it bursts those wonderful
little cells inside and creates so much more juice and it's easier to squeeze
but first I'm a big stickler in wasting nothing so I take the zest of everything
from oranges to lemons to limes you name it even if I'm not cooking with it I'll
season my salt with a zest so we've got this fragrant salt now lightly grate the
zest of the lemon in you know cooking fish is rich it's extraordinary the
texture is amazing but what it does need is acidity because it brings out that
natural flavor of the fish and it lifts up the flavor of the fish and always
squeeze fresh lemon juice into the mix at the last minute okay and when you
slice lemon I always prefer slicing here here and here so we avoid all the pips
so every time we squeeze lemon in there's definite
rather than slicing the lemon directly in half so much easier lemon juice give
that lobster it's sort of it wakes it up it gives you that nice sharpness to it
and then finally mix in and look already that mix smells incredible
looks delicious and look at it we're ready to go now I'm making a lobster
ravioli out of the scraps the leftover bits of lobster you could do a prone one
you could bind this with a fresh scallop beautiful prawns chopped up bound
together with an egg white sticks it all together you need that mix you just
stick in the middle so as it holds together in the middle our ravioli but
the secret behind any ravioli is making sure that it's non-porous that's
basically meaning that there's no water that seeps through and so when we come
to roll that pasta it's really important now set that just show you there look at
that Beach we can identify the chunks of lobster you can see that salmon barely
but when you smell it it smells like the sea it's slightly salty it's got a frame
from the basil and it's beautifully seasoned now set that in the fridge for
10 minutes get nice and firm while we roll the pasta
everything gets set got my lobster mix there got my cutter here and I've got a
little egg yolk an egg yolk as opposed to an egg wash which is made with a
whole egg sometimes milk I need that that Glue I need that touch
of yolk that really helps to stick that pass it together also think how rich my
pasta is think about the olive oil the egg yolks in there so egg yolk fits the
bill you don't want water there you don't want milk there you don't want an
egg whipped up it's just egg yolks that's nice and strong now the exciting
part lightly seasoned Lee Marvel and your hands with the flour at this point
because the pass is so thin be careful not to add too much flour otherwise it
will dry the passer out pull the cling film back and then look pick up your
sheets and literally start cutting now that's the size cut I'm gonna be using
today and keep them close together let's start off with four I'm gonna show the
basic technique on how to manipulate the pasta together now the secret is
literally in the twisting and turning so get set up top bottom top bottom top
bottom and then you can see how transparent that pastor is keep that
literally covered okay that stops it from drying out get your mix and spoon
the mix into the center of the disc really important okay shape it on the
spoon first try not to shape it on the pass otherwise you'll move all over the
place shape shape shape first on the spoon and it protects your pasta now I
didn't start out making lobster ravioli you're joking I need to practice for
months on end with mashed potato because I couldn't afford to get one wrong so I
was never allowed to be let loose on the actual lobster had to start off with
mashed potato once I master the mashed potatoes then I went to shrimp after
shrimp I went to salmon after salmon I was finally allowed on to the lobster so
delicate eggwash round the outside very quickly
no seasoning and egg wash doesn't need it got all the seasoning inside but from
there take up the disk thumb on the top there up and over and lift up into the
air and knit together but I'm feeding it with this thumb I'm pulling back with
this thumb so I'm spinning it around feeding and pulling so I'm pushing with
this thumb and with my right thumb I'm pulling it back pull pull pull belt turn
it over and look you can see how thin those pasta sheets are cuz you know
identify the lobster you can see the basil there you actually smell the lemon
as well now from there back over up into the air and you nip you nip very
carefully and make sure you do not pierce those sheets of pasta now
raviolis we take to another height in Chelsea where we trim them cut them but
if I was doing this at home you wouldn't need to trim them and then look back on
top too much mix in there be careful you'll burst them so start off with an
average amount of mix and then go for the maximum get the confidence first
feel the pasta you're gonna screw these up don't worry about it so please don't
stress out and then finally look keep that height on top and that height on
the bottom as well so when it sits on the plate it's got that beautiful round
style now once you shake these beautiful raviolis give me a little bit of a
haircut that means basically taking off any excess past that you don't require
if I was doing this at home I'd be cooking it like that beautiful in the
restaurants then we take our cutter we just come over the top push down spin it
around so got these nice little sort of large I call them lobster eyeballs so
you've got that nice sort of quirky beautiful shaped delicate ravioli again
come in there shape it cutely turn it around and give it a little trim
we call this haircuts you can see a beautiful shape now so look let's
pretend my mom was a plate for a minute and look already how they're sitting and
so last one come in push down turn it around now you can go fluted edge you
have a little bit of fancy if you wanted I just like the plain edge and I want
those points hitting the side one two three beautiful raviolis now for the
cooking you've gone to all that work you need to treat these things with the
utmost respect they're gonna take literally 90 seconds to cook because all
the cooking as a pasta and reheating that filling the center so I've got a
beautiful lobster stock here that was made out of all those shells slowly
roasted water fennel carrots onions and is this amazing stock from that stock
we've taken out three cups and reduced down to sort of almost like a lobster
bisque essence and you just reduce it down like a syrup and that's what's
gonna go over the ravioli but first off don't boil the rapidly rapidly you'll
burst them so you get a gentle boil get the temperature rolling beautifully
season the water nicely lift up the raviolis in your hand and
then very carefully sort of put them in and spin them that stops them from
sticking to each other and then really important just turn the pan that stops
anything from sticking on the bottom bring the temperature of the water back
up and literally you'll see them float gently don't ball and rapidly literally
90 seconds because the magical ravioli is that burst of flavor in the middle
for me the secret is making sure no water seeps in you've noticed that a
lobster stock is being cooked in it'll help stain the pastor but you want that
magic inside really important now as they're cooking
get your plate ready my bowl the revenue comes out we're gonna season them in the
bowl glazing the vinaigrette and then set them on now
in here I've just got a beautiful sort of fresh tomato chutney and it's
basically chopped tomatoes lightly roasted and then almost stood for about
20 minutes finished with from fresh basil
so stop turn down be careful you can see the revelry starting to lift now the
plate we're going for three raviolis on the plate and we go on one that's my
bedrock that's the base to never slide food on it plates look at it position it
and be confident it stays there you start sliding food around it goes all
over the place ten seconds and the raviolis are coming out now spider we
can go in lift up into the bowl inside the glass bowl a glass Of Vinaigrette
olive oil lemon juice and a touch of salt glaze the ball with the vinaigrette
gently come underneath reveries out and then lightly and I mean lightly seasoned
touch of salt a light sprinkle lemon zest that's natural because the lobster
again and then finally look you roll them round that vinaigrette you let
those raviolis sort of steep in there for ten seconds and then very carefully
not with a fork but with a knife but with a spoon cuz it's sets in
beautifully with that ravioli look you lift them up you place each one on top
that wonderful fresh tomato chutney I want the points coming in to each
other and that's my little bedrock I said earlier that's the bit that gives
my plate the height turn the plate round towards you don't go over the plate in
case you drip into it and just get those points sitting in now from
there you've got your lobster stock go over each ravioli once and it's a sort
of lobster glaze and then finally with your vinaigrette and this is the classic
vinaigrette that literally just cuts in to the richness and then we've got our
micro sorrel and microbes and look you just let that sit beautifully when I say
sit on a bit of height Micro basil micro sorrel and just give
it a touch of elegance literally two things on the plate your fresh tomato
chutney and your beautiful ravioli but give it some finesse let it sit
naturally that for me is how to perfect a beautiful revelry of lobster Beautiful
