Fried Ravioli

Welcome back to Chez Chefpo! 
Today, we made some fried ravioli! These golden, puffy, crunchy bites are a great way to enjoy both homemade or store-brought ravioli, and it pairs nicely with some marinara sauce. This technique should work with any sort of ravioli, but the kind we have here is Rana Italian Sausage.

Fried Ravioli


Makes a few servings (3 to 5)

Ingredients:

  • 1 package store-bought ravioli
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (the more flour, the easier to coat the ravioli)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup panko (breadcrumbs)
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian herbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Directions:

  1. Mix the milk with the beaten eggs. Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and herbs into an even mixture.
  2. Prepare the ravioli for frying: coat evenly in a layer of flour, then egg, then the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Heat up the oil until it bubbles a little when you put a chopstick in it.
  4. Gently put the ravioli into the oil, a few at a time, for just a few minutes each, until they become golden-brown.
  5. Take them out onto a paper towel to soak up the extra oil and enjoy while it's still hot and puffed up!

    Mmmm... The perfect ravioli
We've actually made this a few times before, and as you can see, you can use the rest of the oil to fry some other stuff, like okra or zucchini. 
         
Or, if you want a lighter complement to the fried ravioli, you can serve with some fresh greens. You could also experiment with your own homemade ravioli, different flavors, or different sauces. Any way you have it, it'll be great!

Filipino Chicken Adobo

Welcome back!  Today, we have a traditional Filipino dish: Chicken Adobo! Adobo is a very classic Filipino flavor involving vinegar, peppercorns, and bay leaves. It's used for many different types of meat; pork is another very common choice. The dish should not be confused with a Spanish variety of adobo, which has a similar concept but different ingredients - there's a heavier emphasis on spices like paprika and oregano. Filipino Chicken Adobo Ingredients: 2 pounds chicken drumsticks 1/2 cup rice vinegar 1/3 cup soy sauce 6 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns 3 bay leaves 2 tablespoon sugar Directions: Prepare the marinade by adding in all the ingredients except for the chicken. Mix this together. Put the chicken in and let it marinade for a few hours, preferably overnight so the flavor really soaks in. Take the chicken out. Keep the marinade! In an oiled pan, sear the chicken for 2 minutes on each side (imagine that the drumsticks have two sides). Remov...
