Jacks Three Berry Ravioli With Berry Compote Food

JACK'S THREE BERRY RAVIOLI WITH BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• RAVIOLI:.
• Pasta:.
• To make ravioli, combine ingredients until it forms dry, spring dough. Run through a pasta machine, and make into sheets. Allow to air dry. Use flour to keep the dough dry and not stick together.
• Filling:.
• Combine ricotta and mascarpone mixing through the walnuts. Fold through the berries and nutmeg.
• Place small spoonfuls of the filling on one sheet of pasta, spacing out at least 4cm apart. Brush beaten egg around the outside of filling. Place a another sheet of pasta on top of fillings. Press down pasta so it sticks where the beaten egg was placed. Cut out with a pastry/ravioli cutter.
• Cook each piece in boiling water for approx 3-5 minutes (use a a big pot and do 4-7 at one time).
• SAUCE:.
• (Can do before cooking ravioli) Heat water and sugar in saucepan to make syrup. Add lemon juice and berries to syrup and cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan to cover berries in syrup. Add butter and continue to cook gently swirling berries and butter until butter is melted.
• Presentation:.
• Place require amount of ravioli on plate. Put berry Syrup and berries over pasta. Serve with ice cream or cream & dust with icing sugar.

BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH FRESH BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, combine fresh berries with 1/4 cup sugar and the water and bring to a simmer.
• Cook over moderate heat , stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices and the sugar has dissolved completely, about 8 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream, the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon, ginger and allspice.
• Transfer the cream and egg mixture to a 9x13 baking dish.
• Heat a large cast-iron griddle over moderate heat and lightly butter it.
• Working in batches, dip half of the brioche slices in the cream and egg mixture, turning them once, until the slices are moistened but not soggy.
• Transfer the soaked brioche slices to the griddle and cook them over moderate heat, turning once, until they are golden on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the finished French toast to a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil and keep warm in the oven while you soak and cook the remaining brioche slices.
• Transfer the French toast to plates and serve right away, accompanied by the warm berry compote and creme fraiche.

FLOURLESS PANCAKES WITH BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a small blender, puree banana and eggs until smooth. Heat medium sized non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until hot. Add ½ of your butter/coconut oil to the pan and let sit for 30 seconds to heat up.
• Pour in batter slowly and make 4-6 small pancakes per pan. They should be the size of a soup can. Once browned on both sides, transfer to a plate.
• In a small pot, add berries, water and chia seeds. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until berries have broken down and the sauce has thickened.
• Spoon over pancakes and serve.
• Tip: Make the compote ahead of time to save time. It will last for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. • As there is no flour in the batter, it is slightly more fragile than traditional pancake batter.

MIXED BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over moderate heat. Stir in brown sugar and lemon juice until sugar is dissolved.

THREE CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• For the Pasta:.
• For our family of 5 I use 4 cups four and 4 eggs and a pinch of salt, and we eat it all! Rule of thumb for pasta is one large egg to one cup of flour and a pinch salt.
• Directly on the kitchen counter pile your flour and make a well in the centre. Crack the eggs into the well and top with pinch of salt. Using a fork, scramble the egg and slowly incorporated the flour until you have mixed all the egg with all the flour and have a very stiff dough. It needs to be very firm, don't worry if it feels tough. Knead the pasta dough until even on a lightly floured surface, adding more flour until the dough no longer sticks to the surface. Set aside and make you filling.
• At this point, if you have a pasta machine to roll the dough out and stretch it, great, it not, you can use a rolling pin with equal success. Divide dough into smaller balls and begin rolling on a lightly floured surface. Roll until the pasta is very thin, and no longer contracts back into itself. This is called "Breaking" the dough. When you have reached this point, you can cut the pasta into the shapes you would like, place the filling inside (a spoonful for ravioli) Close and seal the pasta. Set aside on a lightly floured surface until all are ready to cook. Cook in boiling salted water for 2 minutes (or less) when the filled pasta shapes float. Remove to a buttered dish and when all shapes have been cooked, pour over the sauce, and serve.
• For the filling:.
• In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients and combine well and evenly. Adjust seasoning to taste. Either place by teaspoonful onto ravioli shapes, or use to fill canneloni tubes. I have even used this stirred through Macaroni noodles!
• For the sauce:.
• Empty the tomatoes into a saucepan and heat gently. When thoroughly heated through, add the whipping cream and heat through. Do not boil or the cream will curdle. If you are making Ravioli, or pasta shapes, pour over, mix gently and serve. If you are making the stuffed canneloni, pour over the stuffed pasta grate over extra edam cheese and parmesan cheese, and place in the oven. Bake at 350 until heated through, the pasta soft, and the sauce gently bubbling.
