Goat Cheese Ravioli Appetizer Wonton Recipe

Recipe Type: ravioli, cheese, wonton appetizer

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients:

2 ounces bacon, diced fine
1 garlic clove, minced
3 ounces goat cheese
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
6 wonton wrappers
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons shallots, chopped fine
1 cup port wine
1/2 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
zest of 1 orange
arugula (or romaine or spinach) leaves rolled then sliced 1/8-inch

Instruction:

In a skillet over medium heat sauté bacon and garlic, reduce heat, stir in goat cheese just until melted, add salt and pepper, remove from heat.

Put a large pot of salted water on stovetop, bring to a boil.

Put 1 teaspoon cheese mixture in center of 3 wonton wrappers, brush edges with water, cover with the remaining wrappers, aligning them with the squares beneath. Press out any air and seal edges closed by crimping edges with tines of a fork.

Place ravioli in boiling water. They are done when they rise to the surface, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a rack. When cool enough to handle trim each wonton ravioli into a circle by using a 2-1/2-inch cookie cutter or cutting around a glass rim with a sharp knife (optional).

Make the sauce for this appetizer with butter, shallots, port wine and beef stock in a saucepan over high heat; reduce by one third. 

Serve 3 ravioli appetizers on each plate, spoon port sauce around, add pine nuts, orange zest and sliced arugula.
