Ingredients
Serves 4 people
For the ravioli:
-
2 beets
For the basil ricotta
-
1 cup raw, soaked macadamias or cashews
-
1 clove of garlic
-
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
-
2 tablespoons of olive oil
-
1 lemon (juice)
-
1/4 cup fresh basil
Preparation
-
Start by making the ravioli. Cut the beets into very thin slices using a mandoline or a very sharp knife. Arrange these slices on a plate or pyrex and drizzle with the olive oil so they don't dry out while you make the ricotta.
-
To make the basil ricotta, put all the ingredients in the bowl of the food processor. Whisk until you get a creamy paste. Season to taste with salt.
-
Place a slice of beet on a plate or tray lined with baking paper and top with a spoonful of the basil filling. Finish with a new slice of beet; if desired, press around the filling with your fingers to create a closed ravioli. Otherwise, you can serve like this. Repeat the process until you have used all the beet slices and all the filling.
-
To serve, drizzle with more basil oil and accompany with a salad.
