WONTON SKIN RAVIOLIS
Steps:
- Lay out 8 wonton wrappers on counter in front of you. Paint each one lightly with beaten egg. Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each ravioli. Seal by placing 8 additional wonton wrappers on top to cover each square. Pick up each ravioli and press well all around edges to seal. For a good seal, make sure no filling is stuck in the edges. Square ravioli can be left as is or cut into festive shapes (stars, hearts etc.) with a medium cookie cutter. Place the ravioli upside down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Lay out 8 more wrappers and repeat the process until either wrappers or filling is gone. Lay additional parchment or plastic wrap between layers of ravioli as needed as you lay them on the cookie sheet. The entire cookie sheet can be wrapped well and refrigerated for 1 to 2 days.
- When ready to cook ravioli, bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, give the water a good stir to form a whirlpool effect and quickly drop in 12 to 15 raviolis one by one, stirring gently to separate them as they hit the water. Poach gently 2 to 3 minutes, or until ravioli puff up, float to the surface and are opaque in the center (in the case of raw poultry or fish fillings) Remove ravioli from pot with a slotted spoon and reserve. Cook remaining ravioli in same manner. Serve with sauce, butter, or oil, or in broth, and with or without cheese.
DEEP FRIED WONTON RAVIOLIS
Steps:
- Add berries, sugar and water to a hot saucepan. Allow mixture to come to a boil and then cook for approximately 3 minutes or until berries can be mashed. Remove from heat.
- Strain the berry mixture into a bowl, pushing with a wooden spoon. Allow to cool. Can be stored in a squeeze bottle in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Stuff one wonton wrapper with 1/6 of the chocolate chips. Paint water on the edges, seal in a triangle shape, crimp lightly with a fork to ensure seal. Repeat with all six wonton skins.
- In a large pot (or in a deep fat fryer) heat 3 inches of canola oil to 350 degrees. Using a spider or a slotted spoon, add the stuffed wontons to the oil and fry until golden on both sides. Remove to drain on paper towels.
- Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl. Heat heavy cream to a simmer and add to the chocolate stirring until the chocolate melts. Add Grand Marnier to taste.
- Arrange wontons on a plate. Top with the coulis and chocolate.

Steps:
- Cook peas in boiling salted water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and cool, then purée in a food processor. Stir in cheese, mint, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right wonton wrappers: Look for wonton wrappers that are thin and pliable, with a smooth texture. Avoid wrappers that are thick or dry, as they will be more difficult to work with and may not cook evenly.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your wonton ravioli will taste. Choose vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- Don't overfill the wontons: When filling the wontons, be sure to not overfill them, as this will make them difficult to fold and seal. Aim for about 1 tablespoon of filling per wonton.
- Cook the wontons properly: Wontons can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common methods are boiling, steaming, and frying. Be sure to cook the wontons according to the package directions, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the wonton ravioli with your favorite sauce: Wonton ravioli can be served with a variety of sauces, such as soy sauce, chili sauce, or a simple vinaigrette. Choose a sauce that complements the flavors of the filling.
