- 1 bunch of bay leaves
- 2 pieces of star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 cloves
- 500 ml of red wine

Method for the pasta
Mix the egg yolk, egg white, and red beet powder using a mixer.
Add this mixture to the flours to make a dough.
Let it rest overnight.
Method for the Red Beet Water
Bake the beets in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for 30 minutes.
Once cooled, extract the juice and season it with salt and vinegar.
Set aside to later mix it with the cooked pasta.
Method for the Juniper Oil
Blend the juniper berries.
Cook the mixture at 70°C (158°F) for 30 minutes.
Method for the filling
Sauté the meat and vegetables in a pot. Deglaze with red wine and cover with water, add the spices and cook until the meat is well-done.
Once the hare is ready, separate it from the vegetables and the stock.
Blend the meat with the processed vegetables and the foie gras to create the filling.
Strain and reduce the stock, then set it aside for finishing the dish.
Roll out the pasta and fill the ravioli.
Cook the ravioli for one minute in salted water, then drain and mix with the red beet water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Plating
Plate the pasta and add a drop of juniper oil on top of the ravioli; finish with the warm reduced hare stock.
