Feta, Goat
cheese, spinach and quail egg ravioli- I
know, this is a complex recipe, but very elegant and fantastic. Take 1.5 cups durum wheat flour in a food
processor. AP flour works, almost as well. Add an egg and about 4 tablespoons white
wine. Whiz in processor until a ball
forms, adding a bit more wine if needed.
Set aside to rest. Take a half packet
of Garlic and Herb Dip Mix and put into a saucepan with a half cup white
wine. Bring to a boil and reduce to
syrup, remove from heat and add 4 cups baby spinach. Turn a few times, then cover and allow to
wilt for 4 minutes. Toss. Set aside.
After 15 minutes and then mix in a half cup of crumbled Bulgarian Sheep’s
milk Feta. (my favorite) or any
feta. Roll out the dough into
sheets. Place first sheet onto ravioli
press. Make the dimples into the press,
then brush with a beaten egg wash. Place
a teaspoon or so of the spinach mixture into the dimples and press against the
sides leaving a small depression. Crack
a quail egg into the depression, then cover with second sheet of pasta and roll
to press. Continue with another set,
this should make about 24 ravioli. Sauce
to serve over them, take two large shallots and peel and slice thinly. Saute in large skillet with 2 tablespoons
butter. When translucent, add the second
half of the dip mix, and a half cup of white wine. Bring to a boil and reduce to syrup, then add
a cup and a half of half and half, bring to light boil, and reduce a
third. Cook the ravioli in boiling water
for 3 minutes, then place on plate, and top with sauce. Garnish with chopped almonds, parsley and a
few lemon slices.
