Stuffed Deep Fried Rigatoni Recipes

DEEP FRIED STUFFED OLIVES

Steps:

• Chuck Hughes' scrumptious deep fried stuffed olives are a bar snack that can't be beat.
• For the olives: Place the olives in a bowl and cover over with water. While preparing the stuffings, let them soak about 30 minutes to remove the excess salt. Drain the water, rinse the olives and dry completely with a paper towel.
• For the stuffings: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the shallots. Add the ground veal, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook about 5 minutes. Add the veal stock and continue to cook over medium heat until the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the veal mixture to a bowl. Add the Parmesan, parsley, breadcrumbs and egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix together and set aside.
• To assemble: Starting from the end (opposite the hole on top), cut the olive away from the pit in a spiral, as if you're peeling an apple. The olive will coil. Place the olive meat in a bowl.
• Pinch a bit of the veal mixture between your thumb and forefinger and roll into a small ball. Shape the olive meat from half the olives around the filling, so the olive regains its original shape. Place on a baking tray, cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Proceed the same way for remaining olives and the gorgonzola cheese.
• Coat the olives lightly in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. To avoid the stuffing from seeping out, repeat the process twice to get a thick breading. Set aside.
• Pour the olive oil into a medium frying pan and heat until the oil bubbles. Fry the olives until the breading is golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Serve the olives while warm.

RIGATONI STUFFED WITH CHICKEN AND FENNEL

Steps:

• Cook rigatoni in a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander, shaking vigorously. Cool on an oiled cookie sheet or clean countertop until nearly dry and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil to coat. Reserve.
• Puree chicken, fennel, and egg white in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl nested inside a larger bowl half-filled with iced water. Stir until evenly chilled.
• Add cream, a 1/4 cup at a time, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon after each addition, until all is added. Stir in salt, pepper, and hot sauce. (At this stage, the stuffing can be stored in refrigerator up to 24 hours.)
• To stuff rigatoni, fill a pastry bag fitted with a #4 plain tip with chicken mixture and stuff rigatoni from both ends. Reserve.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• To make sauce, combine cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a medium ovenproof skillet. Bring to a boil. Add stuffed rigatoni, return to a boil, then transfer to oven. Bake until sauce is thick and bubbly, and rigatoni is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon into serving bowls or plates, sprinkle with chives, and serve hot.

STUFFED RIGATONI POPPERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat, season with a teaspoon of salt, then add the rigatoni.
• Stir and cook until the pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add the olive oil and stir to coat. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, add the ground beef, remaining teaspoon of salt, the pepper, oregano, parsley, onion, garlic, and mozzarella. Stir until combined.
• Spoon the beef mixture into a zip top bag, seal the bag, and cut the corner to create a small opening.
• Pipe the beef mixture into one side of the rigatoni, then flip and pipe the other side to fill.
• Place the filled rigatoni on a baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs into 3 separate medium bowls.
• Take a rigatoni and roll it in the flour to coat, shake off any excess flour. Dip the rigatoni in the egg with a fork. Finally, roll the rigatoni in the bread crumbs until coated. Repeat with the remaining rigatoni.
• Fry the rigatoni poppers 4 at a time until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
• Drain on a wire rack or over paper towels.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan.
• Serve with marinara sauce.
• Enjoy!

DEEP-FRIED STUFFING

Steps:

• Combine flour, poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs and milk together in a second shallow bowl until smooth. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a third shallow bowl.
• Scoop stuffing, about 2 tablespoons per serving, and roll into a ball using your hands, forming about 12 balls. Dredge each ball through the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Transfer each ball to the egg mixture and evenly coat. Roll each ball in the bread crumbs mixture until evenly coated. Set each stuffing ball on a plate and allow to sit for the coating to stick to the stuffing.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Carefully lower 4 to 5 stuffing balls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining stuffing balls.

LORILYN'S DEEP FRIED STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In stand up mixer or in small bowl, combine cream cheese, almond extract and powdered sugar until fluffy.
• Fit a cake decorating bag with a large tip (star or round) and fill with cream cheese mixture. Set aside.
• Using a serrated bread knife, slice each piece of Texas Toast into half on the diagonal.
• Along the newly cut diagonal edge, use the tip of the knife to gently make a one inch slice into the center of the bread, making sure the slice runs parallel to the top and bottom of the bread.
• Insert the decorator tip into the opening & squeeze out about a teaspoon or so of filling. With a thumb & finger, gently pinch the opening to close it back up & cover the filling. (This could also be done with a ziplock baggie with a corner cut off, although not quite as easily.).
• In mixer or another medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt.
• Beat in milk and eggs until batter is smooth. Pour into deep wide bowl or into a pie plate, for dipping.
• Pre-heat deep fryer or griddle (about 350°) and when ready dip filled slices of bread into batter, turn once and place into fryer basket. (Mine will hold two slices at a time.)
• Fry 2 minutes or until lightly browned & crispy looking then turn each slice over with a pair of tongs and fry the other side for 2 minutes or until done.
• Remove with tongs to paper towel lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
• Repeat with the rest of the slices.
• Serve immediately (careful - filling is hot) with your choice of syrups, jams or jellies.
