Wonton Ravioli

George’s Wonton Ravioli will sure be a hit with the kids this winter. Don’t forget to sprinkle with Parmesan and enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • 400 g microwave mixed vegetables 
  • 1 teaspoon salt flakes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1⁄2 onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 400 g can crushed tomatoes 200 ml vegetable stock
  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan

Method:

  1. Microwave the veggies according to the packet instructions, then transfer to a bowl and add the salt and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Use a fork to mash the veg to a mashed potato consistency.
  2. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil.
  3. Next, grab a frying pan and heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft, then add the tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.
  4. While the sauce simmers away, let’s assemble the wonton ravioli. Pop a wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and add about 1 tablespoon of your veggie mix. Using your finger, wet the edge of the wonton wrapper with a little water, then fold the wonton wrapper in half to form a rectangle and press the edges together to enclose the filling, making sure to press out any air bubbles. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and veg.
  5. Drop your ravioli into the boiling water and as soon they start floating to the top use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the simmering tomato sauce. Mix gently to coat in the sauce, then divide among shallow bowls, sprinkle the parmesan on top and start eating!
