“Everything that we’re using is in season, and everything we’re using is on-trend at the moment” – Brendan Conmy, Sysco Development Chef.

- 1 small diced shallot (VW801)
- 50g of tarragon (491016)
Cooking Liquor
- 200ml of Sojade Soya Milk Natural Green Unsweetened (5350)
- 80g of dairy-free flora (491863)
- 40g of icing sugar (SG171)

Method
- Make up a pickling liquor and pickle 50g of enoki mushroom (part of the wild mushroom mix).
- Slice the wild mushrooms, sauté with diced garlic and shallots, season and set off to the side to in a strainer to drip dry out. We do not want any moisture in the mix.
- Slice the turnip on a slicer to give you wafer-thin slices, get a large circular cutter and cut into the ravioli.
- In a pot add soya milk, flora dairy-free margarine and icing sugar bring to a gentle simmer until the margarine has dissolved, drop in the turnip into the soya milk and poach for 5 minutes. The reason we use the margarine and icing sugar is that we are not using eggs to seal the ravioli – this mix acts a sealer.
- Remove the turnip and set off to the side on a wire rack.
- Our now dried and cooled wild mushroom mix can be placed in the centre of the turnip ravioli for assembling.
- Steam the turnip ravioli for 4 minutes in a steamer or simmering water.
- Toast off the hazelnuts in a dry pan this helps release extra flavour to help develop the dish.
- Wash off 40g of blueberries.
- Flash fry the baby courgette with some garlic.
- Use a little bit of diced garlic, white wine vinegar and olive oil. Whisk together, season to taste and finish with chopped tarragon.
- Assemble: Place 3 warm ravioli on a plate, dress with the pickled enoki mushrooms, blueberries and hazelnuts. Drizzle with tarragon vinaigrette and garnish with the rosemary, red amaranth and sorrel.
