Ravioli With Foie Gras and Truffles
- 1 pound cooked fresh foie gras (see note)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh or canned black truffles
- 20 won-ton skins, available in many supermarkets and most Chinese markets
- 3 cups rich fresh chicken or beef broth
- 1 whole fresh or canned black truffle shaved as thinly as possible
- Cut the foie gras into slices about half an inch thick or slightly larger.
- Cut the slices into half-inch or slightly larger cubes.
- Dip one side of each cube into the chopped truffles and set aside.
- Use the won-ton skins to make ravioli.
- Begin by laying the skins on a flat surface and, using a pastry brush, brush around the inside perimeter of each skin with water, making a 1-inch brushed margin.
- Place one piece of foie gras in the center of each won-ton skin.
- Fold over one corner of the won ton to meet its opposite corner, and enclose the foie gras.
- Press all around with the fingers to seal.
- Use a biscuit cutter to press around the filled won-ton skin to make a neat moon shape.
- Bring the broth to a simmer in a saucepan, and add the ravioli.
- When the liquid returns to a simmer, let the ravioli cook 1 minute.
- Remove the ravioli carefully with a slotted spoon.
- Put 5 ravioli in each of 4 heated soup plates.
- Spoon equal amounts of the broth over each serving, and sprinkle each serving with an equal amount of the shaved truffle.
- Serve immediately.
