Won Ton Ravioli Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; crumble beef; drain. Stir in oregano and basil. , Preheat oven to 350°. Place 8 wonton wrappers on a greased baking sheet; top each with 1 tablespoon meat mixture and 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese. Moisten edges with water; top with another wonton wrapper. Press edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers, meat mixture and cheese. , Brush wontons with butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Serve with spaghetti sauce.

Steps:

• Lay out 8 wonton wrappers on counter in front of you. Paint each one lightly with beaten egg. Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each ravioli. Seal by placing 8 additional wonton wrappers on top to cover each square. Pick up each ravioli and press well all around edges to seal. For a good seal, make sure no filling is stuck in the edges. Square ravioli can be left as is or cut into festive shapes (stars, hearts etc.) with a medium cookie cutter. Place the ravioli upside down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Lay out 8 more wrappers and repeat the process until either wrappers or filling is gone. Lay additional parchment or plastic wrap between layers of ravioli as needed as you lay them on the cookie sheet. The entire cookie sheet can be wrapped well and refrigerated for 1 to 2 days.
• When ready to cook ravioli, bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, give the water a good stir to form a whirlpool effect and quickly drop in 12 to 15 raviolis one by one, stirring gently to separate them as they hit the water. Poach gently 2 to 3 minutes, or until ravioli puff up, float to the surface and are opaque in the center (in the case of raw poultry or fish fillings) Remove ravioli from pot with a slotted spoon and reserve. Cook remaining ravioli in same manner. Serve with sauce, butter, or oil, or in broth, and with or without cheese.

Steps:

• Puree the scallops, and set aside. In a teaspoon of oil, saute the lobster meat or crab meat with garlic, onion, green onion and cilantro until just hot. Add white wine and brandy, and stir. Remove from heat.
• Add the scallop puree, and mix well to bind together the filling ingredients. Season with salt.
• Divide the filling into 14 equal portions, and place one portion in the center of a won-ton skin. Repeat until all the filling is used. Brush the edges of the won ton with egg wash, and place the remaining won tons on top of those with the filling, pressing the sides down firmly to seal.
• At this point, the won tons may be covered and refrigerated. To serve, bring water to boil in large pot, add salt and 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and gently add the won ton; boil for 2 minutes. Drain and serve with lemon-grass butter sauce.

Steps:

• Make the filling: In a heavy skillet cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the corn, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Stir in the chilies, the bell pepper, and the cumin and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely. Stir in the Monterey Jack and salt to taste and chill the filling, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is cold.
• To make Won Ton Ravioli: Put 1 won ton wrapper on a lightly floured surface, mound 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper, and brush the edges with water. Put a second wrapper over the first, pressing down around the filling to force out the air, seal the edges well, and trim the excess dough around the filling with a decorative cutter or sharp knife. Make won ton ravioli with the remaining wrappers and filling in the same manner, transferring them as they are formed to a dry kitchen towel, and turn them occasionally to let them dry slightly.
• Bring a kettle of boiling salted water to a gentle boil and in it cook the ravioli in batches for 2 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and are tender. (Do not let the water boil vigorously once the ravioli have been added). Transfer the ravioli as they are cooked with a slotted spoon to a dry kitchen towel or paper towels to drain and keep them warm. To make the sauce: In a heavy skillet cook the garlic in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, for 1 minute, add the tomatoes, and boil the mixture, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until it is thick. Stir in the lime juice, the coriander, and salt and pepper to taste and keep the sauce warm, covered, while preparing the ravioli.
