Mushroom Ravioli in Browned Butter
- Oil or cooking spray
- 4 ounces portobello, shiitake, or other brown mushrooms
- 1/2 small onion
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- Salt and pepper
- 20 (3-inch) wonton wrappers
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Up to 4 hours before mealtime, lightly coat a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
- Cut the ends off the mushroom stems, discard, and cut the mushrooms into very thin slices.
- Peel the onion and cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Place the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the onion is soft and all the liquid is evaporated.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay a wonton wrapper on a work surface, dip your finger in water, and wet the entire edge of the wrapper.
- Place a spoonful of the mushroom mixture in the center and top with another wonton wrapper.
- Firmly press the edges to seal, and just before you seal it completely, push gently around the filling to remove any air pockets.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
- Lay the finished ravioli on a baking sheet, keeping them separate so they dont stick together.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Carefully lower a few of the ravioli into the water using a slotted spoon and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the wrapper is translucent.
- Remove with the slotted spoon, drain well, and place on the baking sheet.
- Lay a sheet of plastic wrap right on top of the ravioli, smoothing it down to remove any air pockets.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Fifteen minutes before mealtime, place the butter in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until browned.
- Add the ravioli to the pan one at a time, making sure each is thoroughly coated in butter before adding another.
- (If they arent coated with butter, theyll stick together and tear when you try to separate them.)
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until warm.
- Spoon the ravioli onto plates, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and parsley, and serve immediately.
- When buying mushrooms, look for firm, smooth mushrooms that are dry but not dried out.
- Keep mushrooms in their original packaging for up to a week in the refrigerator, but once youve opened the package, store them in a paper bag in the fridge.
- Most important, keep them dry, because moisture makes them spoil quickly.
