Wild Mushroom Ravioli in Sage and Brown Butter Sauce

Submitted by Chef Joey Z.

"This recipe came from the January 2010 Vegetarian Times Magazine. I made this vegan, but I am posting the original recipe that isn't vegan. It was absolutely delicious and my DH asked for more. I wish I'd doubled the recipe, I will next time!! I bought the small won tons and they eliminated the need do any cutting thus saving me that step. Also when assembling the squares wet the non-floured side of the won ton. It sticks together better. I also sprayed the baking sheet with a little olive oil before placing the won tons on it to ensure it doesn't stick."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 20 Raviolis
• Serves: 5

ingredients

• 14.79 ml olive oil
• 1 small shallot (minced)
• 113.39 g mushrooms (gourmet blend diced)
• 29.58 ml white wine
• 4.92 ml thyme leaves (use fresh)
• 20 wonton wrappers (the large square ones)
• 113.39 g unsalted butter
• 4 fresh sage leaves (plus more for garnish)
• 29.58 ml grated parmesan cheese

directions

1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Press the edges to seal. Place on an unlined baking sheet. Repeat with the other won tons until you use up all the filling.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Serve warm.
9. Bon Appetit!
