Chili With Ravioli Recipes

SIMPLE, PERFECT CHILI

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a large pot and throw in the garlic. Cook over medium heat until browned. Drain off the excess fat, and then pour in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Stir together well, cover, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes overly dry, add 1/2 cup water at a time as needed.
• After an hour, place the masa harina in a small bowl. Add 1/2 cup water and stir together with a fork. Dump the masa mixture into the chili. Stir together well, and then taste and adjust the seasonings. Add more masa paste and/or water to get the chili to your preferred consistency, or to add more corn flavor. Add the beans and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with shredded Cheddar, chopped onions, tortilla chips and lime wedges.

EASY HOMEMADE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk the flour and salt.
• Make a well in the center of the flour and add 3 eggs all at once. Mix them together well using your hands. Add the olive oil and knead the dough for 5 minutes. Form into a ball and leave in the bowl, covered with plastic wrap, for 30 minutes.
• Take a small piece of the dough and either run it through a pasta machine a few times OR use a rolling pin, some flour and a considerable amount of muscle to create a thin sheet. Cut circles out of the dough using a cookie cutter or a glass.
• Whisk the remaining egg in a small bowl to make the egg wash.
• Place 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of half the circles. Lightly brush egg wash around the edge of the circle. Place the second circle on top over the filling and use a fork to crimp the edges all around. Continue with the remaining pasta dough until all the dough or filling has been used.
• To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes. Once they float to the top they are done. Drain the pasta and toss with olive oil or sauce.

CHILI WITH RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a wide deep skillet or dutch oven.
• Add onion, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 mins until onion is translucent.
• Add ground beef and, using a large spoon or fork to break up, cook until the meat is browned.
• Add next 5 ingredients, rinsing out each can with a few tablespoons of water and adding the water to the pot.
• Cook for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors blend.
• Salt to taste.
• As the chili simmers, bring a large pot of water to boil and salt the water.
• When the water boils, add the frozen ravioli, and when the water returns to a boil, lower heat to simmer.
• Cook 4 or 5 mins until ravioli is cooked through.
• Place in serving bowls with chili over the top, sprinkled with grated cheese.

VEGAN SWEET POTATO, COCONUT MILK, & ROASTED CHILI RAVIOLI RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°. Rub the peppers with a little bit of olive oil, then place the potatoes and peppers together in the oven. Roast for about 15 minutes, or until the pepper skin begins to blister and blacken. Remove the peppers and place them in a paper bag (an air-tight container also works if you don't happen to have a paper bag). Close and let peppers rest for at least 10 minutes (they will steam in the bag, making the skins easier to remove). Peel the skin away from the pepper, then remove the seeds from the inside. Mince the pepper and set aside. While you're waiting for the potatoes to finish roasting, combine the flours and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour water in the well and stir to combine. Turn out on a floured surface and knead until a smooth dough forms. Divide into two, then cover in plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and let rest. When the sweet potatoes are soft, remove them from the oven. Once they've cooled, remove them from their skins and mash in a large bowl. Add the minced pepper and the coconut milk, and stir until well combined. Roll one round of pasta dough into a rectangular shape on a well-floured surface, until thin but not in danger of tearing (about 1/16 of an inch thick). Place evenly-spaced spoonfuls of filling along the surface of the dough. Roll the second half of the dough out, replicating the size and shape of the first. Brush a little bit of water in between the spoonfuls of filling, then place the second rectangle on top and press to seal. Cut out ravioli with a sharp knife or a pasta wheel. To make extra-sure they are sealed, press all around the edges with a fork. Freeze any ravioli that you won't eat immediately. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the ravioli. Cook until they begin to float (this should only take a few minutes). If you like your ravioli a little crispy (I know I do!), heat a little olive oil in a pan, then add the cooked ravioli and pan-fry over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Top with a little bit of fresh rosemary and sage if you happen to have it, then serve!
