Eggplant Mezzaluna Ravioli
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 1 large eggplant (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds), diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, plus 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves, for garnish
- 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese (about 2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 package square wonton wrappers (about 50 to 60 wrappers)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, for garnish
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggplant, garlic, and chopped oregano, and continue to cook until the eggplant is soft and starting to fall apart, about 12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggplant mixture to a medium bowl and let cool.
- Once the eggplant mixture is cool, add the cheeses, salt, and pepper.
- Place 6 wonton squares on a dry work surface.
- Place 1 teaspoon of the eggplant mixture on each square.
- Dip a pastry brush in water and wet around the edges of the square.
- Fold the square in half to form a rectangle.
- Using a 3-inch-diameter scalloped-edged cookie cutter, press around the filling to make a half-moon shape.
- Place the finished ravioli on a dry baking sheet.
- Continue with the remaining filling.
- You should be able to make about 60 ravioli.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the ravioli (you may want to cook them in two batches) and cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
- Drain the ravioli.
- Drizzle a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil on individual plates or on a large serving platter and top with the ravioli.
- Drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with fresh oregano leaves and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve immediately.
