Paleo Ravioli

Project Description

Ravioli is one of my favourite comfort foods; warming, filling, flavoursome.

Here is a great recipe turning traditional ravioli into a delicious nutritious paleo version.

Play around with the filling:-

Chicken, tomatoes and peppers.

Chorizo and veg.

Smoked salmon and broccoli.

The possibilities are endless.

For this recipe I used a ground beef filling which went down a storm.

Serves 4

You will need:-

500g Grass fed organic minced beef

1 onion

20 cherry tomatoes (or a tin of chopped tomatoes.)

4 cloves of garlic

Dessert spoon of Dried mixed Italian herbs

Glug Balsamic vinegar

4 Courgettes finely sliced length ways (I used a mandolin)

Cocktail sticks

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Method

Dice the onion, and add to a pan with the minced beef. Brown for 5-10 minutes. In a mini blender, blend the tomatoes and garlic. Add to the pan with the mixed herbs. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, season with salt and black pepper. Set aside and allow to cool. Take the sliced courgettes and arrange two strips horizontally, and two strips diagonally. In the centre square add the minced beef. Fold the parcel together. Pin with the cocktails stick, to secure. Season with black pepper. Now take all the parcels and pan fry in olive oil for 4 minutes each side on a high heat.

Now tuck in!
