CRAB RAVIOLI

Making your own pasta for ravioli takes more effort but it's worth it. Fill with a delicious crabmeat and ricotta filling and serve with a lemon butter sauce

Provided by Elena Silcock

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Pasta, Starter, Supper

Time 40m

Yield 2 as a main course or 4 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 10

150g 00 pasta flour
1 large egg and 2 yolks, lightly beaten
½ tbsp olive oil
150g white and brown crabmeat
100g ricotta
½ lemon , zest (use the rest in the sauce)
1 tbsp tarragon , leaves picked, finely chopped
1 tbsp dill , finely chopped
40g unsalted butter
½ lemon , zest and juice

Steps:

  • First make the pasta. Put the flour in a food processor with almost all of your egg mixture, oil and a pinch of salt. Blitz to large crumbs - they should come together to form a dough when squeezed (if it feels a little dry gradually add a bit more egg). Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead for 1 min or until nice and smooth - don't worry if it's quite firm as it will soften when it rests. Cover with cling film and leave to rest for 30 mins.
  • To make the filling, mix all of the ingredients together, season and leave in the fridge until needed.
  • Cut away ¼ of the dough (keep the rest covered with cling film) and feed it through the widest setting on your pasta machine. (If you don't have a machine, use a heavy rolling pin to roll the dough as thinly as possible.) Then fold into three, give the dough a quarter turn and feed through the pasta machine again. Repeat this process once more then continue to pass the dough through the machine, progressively narrowing the rollers, one notch at a time, until you have a smooth sheet of pasta. On the narrowest setting, feed the sheet through twice.
  • Put the pasta sheet on a lightly floured surface, then spoon teaspoons of the filling 4cm apart on the bottom half of the sheet. Using your fingers, pat water around each blob of filling. Fold the top half over the fillings and carefully squeeze around, making sure to remove any air pockets.
  • Cut between each ravioli using a pasta cutter or sharp knife, then pinch around the edges of each ravioli to make sure it is well sealed. Keep on a lightly floured baking tray while you repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. In a large, non-stick pan, melt the butter over a medium heat and cook for 2-3 mins until brown and nutty. Take off the heat and whisk in a splash of the pasta water and the lemon juice. Cook the ravioli for 2-3 mins, remove with a slotted spoon and immediately toss in the brown butter sauce. Serve topped with the lemon zest and a crack of black pepper.

CRAB AND SALMON RAVIOLI



Crab and Salmon Ravioli image

Pasta, a recent addition to the Irish culinary repertoire, is fast becoming a favorite. At Longueville House in Mallow, Ireland, ravioli is taken to refined heights in this dish, which is served as an appetizer. They make it with large rounds of homemade pasta, but store-bought gyoza wrappers are a good substitute.

Yield 8 First-course servings or 2 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

All purpose-flour
1/3 cup chopped peeled carrot
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
3 ounces skinless salmon fillet
3 tablespoons chilled whipping cream
1 tablespoon egg white
4 ounces fresh crabmeat
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 celery stalk, finely diced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
32 gyoza (potsticker) wrappers*
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, diced
3 ounces snow peas, cut into strips
1 celery stalk, cut into strips
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
*Available at Asian markets and in the refrigerated section of many supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Lightly sprinkle large baking sheet with flour. Bring medium saucepan of water to boil. Add carrot and ginger and blanch 1 minute. Drain and cool.
  • Remove any bones from salmon. Chop salmon coarsely. Transfer to processor. Add cream and egg white; puree. Transfer to bowl. Mix in carrot, ginger, crab, onion, celery, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place 1 gyoza wrapper on work surface. Place 1 level tablespoon filling in center. Brush edges with water. Cover with another gyoza wrapper and press firmly around edges to seal. Transfer to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining gyoza wrappers and filling. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover with plastic and chill.)
  • Bring large saucepan of water to boil. Add gyoza in batches and cook until tender, about 3 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer gyoza to another baking sheet. Cover with foil.
  • Combine oil, vinegar and lemon juice in large skillet. Stir over medium heat until warm. Add tomatoes, snow peas and celery; stir just until heated through, 2 minutes. Add chives. Divide mixture among plates. Place ravioli atop vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest crabmeat possible. Fresh crabmeat will have a sweet, delicate flavor and will be free of any off odors.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crabmeat. Overcooked crabmeat will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your ravioli filling. This will add flavor, texture, and color to the dish. Some good options include spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, and carrots.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces for your ravioli. A simple tomato sauce is always a good choice, but you could also try a pesto sauce, a white wine sauce, or a creamy Alfredo sauce.
  • Serve your ravioli with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. This will add a touch of richness and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Crab ravioli is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make crab ravioli that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give crab ravioli a try.
