PEA SOUP

Prepare a vegetable stock. Julienne the onion, sauté into a saucepan with extra virgin olive oil. Add peas and let them develop a richer flavour for a few minutes.
-
Fill with vegetable stock and cook for about 10 minutes. Season to taste.
- Use a hand blender to mix until creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add more vegetable stock.

ORANGE FLAVOURED RICOTTA

- Let it rest for a few minutes in the fridge.
CRISPY PRAWNS

Take a soup plate, and fill with pea soup. Top with a quenelle of ricotta cheese (food item made into oval or egg shape) and crispy prawns. Drizzle a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil on top of each serving. Your pea soup, crispy prawns and orange-flavoured ricotta dish is now ready to serve!
