Lobster Ravioli In Won Ton With Lemon Grass Butter Sauce Recipes

LOBSTER RAVIOLI IN WON TON WITH LEMON-GRASS BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Puree the scallops, and set aside. In a teaspoon of oil, saute the lobster meat or crab meat with garlic, onion, green onion and cilantro until just hot. Add white wine and brandy, and stir. Remove from heat.
• Add the scallop puree, and mix well to bind together the filling ingredients. Season with salt.
• Divide the filling into 14 equal portions, and place one portion in the center of a won-ton skin. Repeat until all the filling is used. Brush the edges of the won ton with egg wash, and place the remaining won tons on top of those with the filling, pressing the sides down firmly to seal.
• At this point, the won tons may be covered and refrigerated. To serve, bring water to boil in large pot, add salt and 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and gently add the won ton; boil for 2 minutes. Drain and serve with lemon-grass butter sauce.

LOBSTER RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Place all the filling ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine. Lay 1 sheet of pasta on a floured surface, and place heaping teaspoons of the filling on the pasta at 1 1/2-inch intervals, in lines 1 1/2 inches apart, until you have covered half the sheet. Brush the edges of the dough with water, and fold over the uncovered side of the dough. Pinch edges to seal. Using a fluted pastry wheel cut down the length of the dough between the mounds of filling. Then cut each strip into individual ravioli parcels. Pinch all edges to seal, using a little water if necessary. Repeat with all dough and all filling. Arrange the ravioli in a single layer on a floured dish towel, and let them dry for about 1 hour, turning them over after 30 minutes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until tender. When ready, the pasta will rise to the surface of the water. Meanwhile heat the tomato sauce to a simmer. Stir in the cream and tarragon, and gently bring the sauce back to the simmer. Remove from heat. Drain the ravioli and serve with the tomato cream sauce and garnishes.;
• Heat oil in a large skillet, and saute the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened. Stir in the roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock and basil. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Yield: 3 cups;
