Panna Cotta With A Coulis Of Lime Strawberries Food

RICOTTA PANNA COTTA WITH BASIL BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Panna Cotta: In a small bowl, soften the gelatin in cold water. Combine 1 cup of the cream, icing sugar and vanilla bean in a small pot. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Add the gelatin and stir to dissolve. Remove the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the cream.
• Stir the remaining cream and ricotta. Pour into 8 5 - oz ramekins. Chill for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Dip each ramekin into hot water, loosen with a knife and turn out onto individual plates.
• Basil Balsamic Strawberries: Hull and cut the strawberries into quarters. Toss with the remaining ingredients.

• Put the cream, milk and vanilla pod (whole) into a saucepan.
• Heat over a very low heat until almost simmering, stirring constantly.
• Put the gelatine sheets in water to soak.
• Add the sugar to the warm cream mixture and stir until melted completely.
• Remove the vanilla pod then add the chocolate and stir until melted.
• Add the gelatine to the mixture and stir.

• I find the flavour is best if you remove the panna cotta from the fridge about 10 minutes before needed. Serve with chopped fresh strawberries.
