Toasted Ravioli

 

If we weren't eager to eat, I would have taken the time to remove crumbs from the photo.


I've made toasted ravioli periodically since my time in St. Louis, but this was my best. I think the key is fresh ravioli. They puffed up and the breading became one with the pasta. Perfect.

It's pretty straightforward. Egg, seasoned bread crumbs, bake until browned. 


The Recipe:
1 package fresh cheese ravioli (about 10 oz)
1 egg
1 c panko breadcrumbs
2 tb parmesan, grated finely
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
tomato sauce, for dipping
  • In a shallow bowl, beat egg with 1 tb of water
  • In a second shallow bowl, mix panko, parmesan, and spices
  • Dip each ravioli in egg, then panko mixture. Place on baking sheet.
  • Bake at 425 for about 15 minutes on lower rack of oven, until golden brown. If they are browning too quickly, place foil loosely over the top.

The Verdict:
Overall grade: A
Overall reason: They feel special to eat, but they're easy to make.
Time to prepare: 30 minutes
Husband quote: "Crunchy."

Kitchen renovation!

BEFORE: AFTER: Still to come: a beautiful new induction range and some wood shelving on the left side, above the backsplash. And maybe the shelving unit on the wall facing the cabinets should be green, but we're going to live with a while before making that decision.

Pickled radishes

I made those! When the CSA box hands you radishes, you eat one. Then you try to give the rest to the neighbors. Then, left with no other option, you pickle them. Then you discover that the pickled radishes are really good. I followed  this super-simple method from My Korean Kitchen . I picked it because it had good reviews on Pinterest, but mostly because it was easy, and I wasn't willing to dedicate a lot of time and effort to these things that none of us really liked. But it turns out that they are delicious.  As is clear from the original recipe, these are good with Korean food. They are also good on Vietnamese rice bowls. And they are PERFECT on salad with hard boiled egg and honey-mustard dressing. And the toddler ate half of them in one sitting, just as a snack. We might actually need to buy more radishes. The Recipe: 1 bunch radishes 1 c water 1 c sugar 1 c white vinegar Pinch of salt Thinly slice the radish bulbs and place them in gla...

Spicy Tomato Jam

Little pot of bubbling goodness seeks lentil patties, sweet potato fries, or pretty much anything else. I recently made  this recipe  from Crumb Blog for lentil patties with tomato jam. The lentil patties were pretty good, but the tomato jam was really something to write home about. It's one of those foods that makes you feel warm, even when it's cold. It has just the right balance of sweetness, acidity, and spice. The mustard seeds are a must (haha, must ard seeds). Their crunch, and the little burst of toasty peppery flavor that follows, are amazing in contrast to the rest of the flavors. The next time you're tempted to put ketchup on something, consider this instead.  I have a little bit of this gold left over in the freezer. I'm thinking I may thin it out with vegetable broth and use it as a sauce for a stir-fry. Stay tuned for the results. The only change I made to this recipe was upping the amount of mustard seeds. I think 1 tsp is the perfect a...
