Butternut squash ravioli
Ingredients
- 1 lb butternut squash, roasted.
- 1 onion, minced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp vinegar
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 100 dumpling wrappers
- 5 cloves garlic, crushed, unpeeled
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Wash squash under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Pierce the all over with a knife to allow any steam to escape.
- Place on a tray and roast for about an hour, or until easily pierced with a fork.
- Cool for about ten minutes then peel off the skin.
- Cut in half and scoop out the seeds and the strings.
- In a dry pan add the chopped pecans and toast until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- Once browned remove pecans from the pan and put it back on heat with some olive oil.
- Cook the onion and garlic in the pan until browned.
- Add the butternut flesh to a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth. Stir in the silken tofu.
- Add the onions and garlic, nutritional yeast, vinegar, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir until completely combined.
- Lay out the dumpling wrappers on a clean surface. Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the centre of each.
- Get a small bowl of water, wet your index finger and moisten around the edge of the wrapper.
- Add another wrapper on top and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp and better seal the edges.
- In a large pot of gently boiling water drop the ravioli. Boil until they float for about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Heat a pan then add butter and 2 crushed, unpeeled garlic cloves. Allow the garlic to infuse the oil.
- Add one sprig of rosemary and cook for about 15 seconds.
- Add a few ravioli, season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on the bottom. Repeat.
