Instructions
- Dissolve the calcium chloride in the water and keep it in the fridge while you prepare the pea soup for the ravioli.
- To prepare the pea soup, start by cooking the frozen peas in water for five minutes. Drain and then rinse immediately in cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Then mix the sodium alginate in the water using an immersion blender until the sodium alginate is completely dissolved.
- Once the sodium alginate is dissolved, bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let it cool at room temperature.
- Once it is cold, mix with the peas using an immersion blender until the soup is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pass it through a sieve, to make it smoother.
- Remove the calcium bath from the fridge. Scoop the pea mixture with a half sphere tablespoon measure and carefully pour it into the calcium bath. Leave the ravioli "cooking" for about 2 minutes in the calcium bath and then carefully remove it using a slotted spoon.
- Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top and consume immediately!
