Sweet Potato And Spinach Ravioli Food

SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH RAVIOLI

Steps:

• To a large skillet add extra virgin olive oil and heat on medium heat.
• Add thinly sliced garlic and sauté until just brown.
• Next, add in spinach in batches, stirring to coat with oil and allowing to wilt slightly between each addition. Sauté 3-4 minutes.
• Add coconut milk and sea salt to taste and allow to simmer (2-3 minutes)
• In a small bowl, mix together tapioca starch and water to make a slurry.
• Pour slurry into skillet, reduce heat and stir until the mixture begins to thicken.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.
• In a large bowl, mix together sweet potato puree, cassava flour and salt. Use hands and knead dough until fully combined. Dough should be dry, soft and pliable. If it's feeling too wet, add more cassava flour by the TBSP until the dough achieves this recommended consistency.
• Cut dough in thirds and place 1/3 onto a large piece of parchment paper.
• Drop approximately 1 TBSP of spinach filling at least 1 inch apart along the length of one half of the rectangle.
• Use parchment paper to help you fold the rectangular shaped dough in half over the filling, and press out the air from around each portion of filling.
• Use knife or pastry cutter to cut ravioli into 2 x 2 squares.
• Pinch three free edges to seal the dough. If desired, use a fork to help seal the edges together.
• Repeat entire process with remaining dough as many times as necessary.
• Boil ravioli 2-3 minutes in salted water in 3-4 batches so you don't overcrowd the pot.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove raviolis and place onto serving plates.
• Top with desired toppings and serve warm*
• In the same skillet with any leftover spinach filling, add olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms have softened and add salt to taste.
• Serve on top the ravioli.

SWEET POTATO & GOAT'S CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• For the filling, bake, steam or microwave the potatoes, then roughly mash. Mix with the pumpkin seeds and goat's cheese.
• For the pasta, place the flour and a pinch of salt in a food processor and crack in the eggs. Pulse until mixture forms sticky-looking crumbs. Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together to form a firm dough. Knead for 5 mins until the dough feels smooth, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 mins. To make by hand, shape flour into a 'ring' on a work surface, crack eggs into the middle, then gradually work the flour into eggs using your fingers.
• Cut the pasta into quarters, then roll out each piece using a pasta machine. Dust with flour as you go and move it down a notch onto a thinner setting every second roll. Continue until you get to the penultimate setting. If you like your pasta very thin and delicate, you can go for the thinnest setting. If you don't have a machine, use a heavy rolling pin to roll the dough as thinly as possible.
• Stamp out rounds using a ravioli cutter or a 6cm biscuit cutter - work quickly so the pasta doesn't dry out. Lay the circles on a semolina-dusted surface and cover with cling film as you cut the rest.
• Place a small tsp of filling in the centre of each round. Dampen the edges with water, then sandwich another round on top. Use your fingertips to seal the edges, trying to expel all the air as you go. Lay the ravioli on a semolina-dusted tea towel to dry for a few mins.
• Cook ravioli in a large pan of gently boiling salted water for 4-5 mins. Do not use a full rolling boil as it is likely to make ravioli split. Drain, and serve with a little chilli oil, Parmesan and pumpkin seeds.

• Mix the salt and flour and make a ball of dough by adding water. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
• Take a lemon sized dough, ball it up and roll out a circle using a rolling pin. Cut them into 3 strips. Place a tablespoon of stuffing in the center of a strip, fold and seal with a fork. Remove excess dough. This should give you moon shaped raviolis. Make as much ravioli as needed in whatever shape you need. Just ensured they are firm and sealed tight.
• In a soup pan boil water till it bubbles and drop the raviolis a couple at a time and take care not to break them. When the pieces start floating and sticky to touch its done. Ladle it carefully out on the plate.
