Presentation

First course indicated in case of kidney failure, with ravioli made with protein-free flour and salt with a filling of cabbage, carrot, onion, extra virgin olive oil, soy sauce and ginger

Ingredients

For 12 ravioli:

For the pasta:

100 g (3.5 oz) low-protein flour

80 g (2.8 oz) water

Salt, to taste

For the Filling

100 g (3.5 oz) Savoy cabbage

½ medium carrot

¼ onion

1 teaspoon soy sauce

A pinch of ground ginger or finely minced fresh ginger

Method

For the filling: chop a golden onion and two medium-sized carrots

Finely chop the cabbage.

Put all the vegetables in a large pan, in which you have heated a simple drizzle of oil.

Instead of salt, add the soy sauce and add a little ginger.

Let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently and, if you like, add some chilli.

For the ravioli dough, pour the protein-free flour and a pinch of fine salt into a bowl.

Stir and add the water at room temperature

Start stirring with a spoon and then move on to the dough by hand.

If the dough is too soft, add a little flour, on the contrary if it is too hard, add a drop of water.

Flour it well and roll it out with a rolling pin

With a mold or a glass, start making the circles.

Put a teaspoon of filling in the ravioli

Pinch the bottom and then proceed by closing it first on one side and then on the other, taking a little dough each time and folding it on itself; otherwise you can close it like a panzerotto.

Cook them in a pan: you can heat them first for a minute, just with a little oil, to brown the lower part and make it slightly crispy

Add half a glass of water,

Cover with the lid and continue cooking, over medium heat, for 10-15 minutes.

If you don’t have the problem of high potassium, you can also steam them, for 15 minutes, oiling the basket well before laying them down.
