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!

Habanero Salsa

Welcome back!  Today, we have a fiery Habanero Salsa! Salsa is deceptively easy to make - just chop up a few ingredients and put it through a food processor - and if you do it yourself, you're able to get it to exactly the right consistency and flavor that you want. In this case, we were able to concoct a devilishly spicy salsa with a fresh habanero. Plus, this is so much fresher than the store-bought variety of salsa! Habanero Salsa Ingredients: 3 medium tomatoes (or Roma tomatoes), deseeded 1/4 small red onion 1 jalapeno 1 habanero Cilantro 1 tablespoon lime juice Pinch of salt Directions: Chop the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and habanero into rough chunks - not diced. Cut the cilantro so that there aren't any long stems. Add the chopped ingredients into a food processor along with the lime juice and salt. Pulse until the desired consistency is reached. This salsa is great by itself but it also is an amazing way to add an extra kick to guacamole or some Brisket Queso, and of ...
