Leek, Portobello And Port Ravioli With Pomegranate
- I used this for 2 with leftovers, but would easily serve 4.
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (fillet in ok)
- 1 pkg Olivieri fresh large ravioli with 5 cheeses
- 1 leek, sliced into thin strips and diced
- 2 portobellini (small) mushroons, sliced 1/2", then stack together and cut once crosswise
- 1-2 tbsp of butter
- 1 tbsp dried tarragon(use fresh if desired)
- 1/2 tsp Russian style mustard
- 1/2-3/4 cups of tawny Port (such as Emu Almontadillo)
- 3-4 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 3-4 tbsp chopped fresh pea sprouts *optional, but adds great flavour..could use fresh spinach if desired.
- 1 tbsp Herb & garlic cream cheese
- 2-4 tbsp pomegranate seeds (depending on how many plates)
- 1.Heat skillet to medium high and brown chicken breast. When about 3/4 cooked, remove one at a time, slice lengthwise to split in half and return to pan, cut side down.
- 2.When fully cooked, remove from pan and set aside. Add butter, mustard and 1/4 cup port. Melt together, then add leek and cook 1-2 min.
- 3. Put large pot of water on to boil for pasta.
- 4. Add mushrooms and tarragon, 1/4 cup more port to the skillet and cook till tender, about 5 min.
- 5. Add chopped fresh parsley and pea sprouts(or spinach) with cream cheese and the last of the port. Simmer together to wilt greens, remove from heat.
- 6. Cook pasta according to directions (2-3min).
- 7. Arrange ravioli on plate(3-4 per person roughly). Slice chicken and arrange stacked somewhat in the middle of plate.Spoon port mixture on top of chicken.
- 8. Sprinkle 1tbsp or so of pomegranate seeds on top, and serve!
- All amounts are approximate, and can easily be adjusted. Could also use shrimp, scallops,pork tenderloin, or just vegetarian.
