Fried Chocolate and Banana Ravioli
- 1 medium banana, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces to yield about 3/4 cup
- 1/4 packed cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 16 won ton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella) or creamy peanut butter
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- In a small bowl, combine the banana, sugar and walnuts.
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each won ton wrapper.
- Put about a teaspoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread in the center of each wrapper and top with 1 to 2 teaspoons of the banana mixture.
- Fold 1 corner of each won ton wrapper diagonally over the filling to form a triangle.
- Press the edges together to seal and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Fill a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with about 3/4-inch oil.
- Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. (If you dont have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 2 minutes.)
- Fry the ravioli, 2 or 3 at a time, turning occasionally, until golden, about 60 to 70 seconds.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Cool for 2 minutes and serve warm.
