PUMPKIN WONTON RAVIOLI



Pumpkin Wonton Ravioli image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 large egg
48 wonton wrappers
1 1/2 cups shaved parmesan cheese
6 sage leaves, rolled and very thinly sliced
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and heat it for a couple of minutes (don't brown it). Add the pumpkin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the chili powder. Cook this filling for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, to warm it and cook off some of the excess liquid. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly while you get the other components ready.
  • Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing and stirring occasionally, until golden. Remove them to a plate and set aside.
  • Next, make browned butter: In the same small skillet, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat; let it cook and bubble up for an additional minute or so, until the foam is golden brown. Watch it carefully and take the pan off the heat as soon as it's ready. Finally, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon cold water. Now you're ready for Operation Ravioli.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Lay out a few wonton wrappers at a time and spoon about 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin mixture in the middle of each one. Then, one at a time, dab your finger into the egg wash mixture and "paint" around the pumpkin on the wrapper. Lay a second wonton wrapper on top of each one, match up the edges and press the two wrappers together, gently pressing out any air bubbles as you go. To seal the ravioli, use a knife or square cutter to neatly trim the edges. Set them aside while you work on the rest.
  • Drop a few ravioli at a time into the boiling water. Boil them for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a platter or serving plates. Spoon a little bit of the browned butter over the ravioli, then sprinkle on the parmesan shavings, sage, toasted pine nuts and a little pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, choose a small, pie pumpkin, also known as a sugar pumpkin.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and makes it easier to puree.
  • Make the wonton wrappers ahead of time: You can make the wonton wrappers up to 2 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
  • Don't overfill the wontons: Overfilling the wontons will make them difficult to seal and they may burst during cooking.
  • Cook the wontons in batches: Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the wontons. Cook them in batches so that they have room to move around and cook evenly.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce: A simple soy sauce or vinegar-based dipping sauce is a great way to enjoy these wontons.

Conclusion:

Homemade pumpkin wontons are a fun and creative way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. They are perfect for a quick and easy appetizer or snack. With a little planning, you can make the wonton wrappers and the pumpkin filling ahead of time, making them a great option for busy weeknights. Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
