Ingredients
Ravioli
- 400 g flour
- 4 eggs
- 15 ml olive oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
Stuffing
- 300 g braised meat (leftover from a blade roast, roast chicken or any other braised meat)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 sprigs of thyme, chopped
- 60 ml meat drippings
Sauce
- 300 mL glace de veau or reduced meat drippings
- 15 mL smoked tea
- Long pepper, ground
Serve with :
- 500 mL wild mushroom mixture
- 500 baby arugula
- 150 g rustic cheddar, shaved
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the flour, eggs and olive oil until the dough forms a ball. Knead the dough for 10 mins, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest in the fridge for an hour.
- In a large saucepan, gently sweat the onion for 5 mins, add the garlic and meat and continue cooking to warm the meat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the meat is well shredded. Season and set aside.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry 2 times per thickness number until you reach the desired thickness.
- Place the pastry on a floured work surface and cut out using a cookie cutter. Add a spoonful of filling, brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg, place a second layer of pastry and close, taking care to seal the ravioli. Place on a floured baking tray and cover with a cloth.
- Repeat the operation and place the ravioli in the fridge.
- Cook the ravioli in a pan of simmering salted water for 3-4 mins.
- Drain and set aside for a few minutes before adding them to the mushrooms.
- In a small saucepan, bring the veal glaze to the boil, remove from the heat, add the tea and leave to infuse for 5 mins. Strain through a sieve, add the pepper and keep warm.
- In a hot, oiled frying pan, sauté the mushrooms over a high heat until nicely coloured. Season and add the ravioli. Continue cooking for a further 4-5 mins to reheat the ravioli.
