Fried Ravioli

Well, this is a long overdue post but I am happy to add another entry to the blog this tonight. I guess we are sticking with the usually theme with this recipe and going with another of my favorite comfort foods. Below is my recipe for Fried Ravioli - a simple twist to an Italian staple that makes for a delicious appetizer.

These babies take mere minutes and are packed with flavor. Even better, you have the freedom to use any shape, style, or flavor ravioli. What can be better than that?

I made mine by using square shaped meat ravioli, a simple egg wash, and seasoned breadcrumbs (easily substituted for panko should you desire). Anyways, let's get right into the recipe!

Prep Time: 15m
Cook Time: 3m per batch

Ingredients:

24 Frozen Meat Ravioli
3 Eggs
1 1/2 cups of Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
Vegetable Oil for Frying
Parmesan Cheese to taste

1. Preheat oil in deep fryer to about 375F. While heating, crack your eggs and wisk them together (this will serve as your wash to help the breadcrumb stick.

2. Pour the breadcrumb into another bowl. One at a time, dip the frozen ravioli into the eggwash and then transfer into the breadcrumb and coat thoroughly.

3. In batches (depending on the size of your deep fryer), drop the coated ravioli into the fryer with enough room to allow them to move around a bit without overlapping.

4. Rotate as necessary and cook until golden brown. Pull out of fryer and transfer onto a plate covered with a paper towel to collect excess oil runoff.

5. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese while hot.

6. Serve.

And that is all it takes to make Fried Ravioli. I hope you enjoy cooking these. I know my co-workers are going to appreciate me bringing a sizeable batch to work tomorrow (:

Have a great night everyone! Please comment if you have any questions or feedback.
