Chicken Wild Mushroom Ravioli With Cherry Sage Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN & WILD MUSHROOM RAVIOLI WITH CHERRY SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Microwave sweet potato for 4 minutes or until tender. Set aside to cool.
• While potato is cooking, saute pancetta until cooked crisp; drain off fat.
• Saute mushrooms in butter until soft and cooked to your liking.
• Cut sweet potato in half and scrap out potato pulp; place pulp in medium size bowl.
• Add pancetta, mushrooms, chicken, and cheese to the potato pulp and mix well (you might have to get your hands dirty for this one).
• Lay one wonton wrapper on a plate, place approximately 1 tbsp of mixture into the middle of the wrapper, then dip your finger in water and run it around the outside of the wrapper and place another wrapper on the top. Push the top wrapper down around the sides so that it sticks to the bottom wrapper. Repeat until all the wrappers are used up.
• If you are going to freeze these for later, this is the time to freeze them! Otherwise, place raviolis on waxed paper and put in the fridge to keep cold while you make your sauce.
• Put on a big pot of water so it can come to a boil as you make the sauce.
• Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a frying pan over medium heat, add sage and saute for 1 minute. Add cherries, then stock and wine. Increase heat to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
• Add cornstarch to cold water, mix well and stir into the sauce. Increase heat once again to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in butter. Place lid on sauce to keep warm.
• Your water should be boiling by now. Drop 5-6 raviolis into pot, one at a time. Boil raviolis for 2-3 minutes until they all float to the top and remove immediately. Repeat with the remaining raviolis until they are all cooked.
• Serve 4 raviolis per person as a main dish or 2 per person for a side dish. Place raviolis on plate and cover with cherry sage sauce.

WILD MUSHROOM RAVIOLI IN SAGE AND BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the shallot and saute for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for 7-10 minutes or until soft. Add the wine and thyme, and cook for 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper if you like. Cool.
• Cut 1 won ton wrapper in half to form two rectangles. Brush the edges of the won ton half with water, and place 1 teaspoons of the mushroom mixture on one side. Fold the wrapper in half to make a square ravioli.
• Press the edges to seal. Place on an unlined baking sheet. Repeat with the other won tons until you use up all the filling.
• Melt your butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add the sage leaves and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fatty solids in the butter sink to the bottom of the pan and turn nutty brown.
• Meanwhile, cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes or until they float to the top. I found leaving them for 2 minutes was a bit long. As long as the won ton came to the top it was done.
• Transfer the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the brown butter with a slotted spoon. Toss with the butter. Season with salt and pepper if you wish and sprinkle with the cheese.
• Serve warm.
• Bon Appetit!

WILD MUSHROOM RAVIOLI WITH SAGE BUTTER

Steps:

• Soak dried mushrooms in enough boiling water to cover for about 15 minute (until soft). Drain; squeeze and finely chop mushrooms.

• Spoon 1 T mushroom mixture onto wonton wrapper. Brush egg white around edges and top with another wrapper. Press edges together to seal.
• In two large saucepans, bring large amounts of water to boil. Add half the ravioli to each pan; cook for 3 to 5 minutes (until tender).
• Combined the melted butter and snipped sage.
• When ravioli is done, transfer to plates, drizzle with butter mixture, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Garnish with sage sprigs.
