Description

Ingredients

• 1 pack of Giovanni Rana Creamy Mozzarella and Smoked Pancetta Ravioli
• 240ml (1 cup) buttermilk
• 125g (1¼ cups) fine breadcrumbs - shop-bought is fine
• ¼ tsp paprika
• ¼ tsp garlic salt
• Oil for deep frying
• Spicy Tomato Dip
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped or minced
• 1 hot red chilli, chopped (discard the seeds if you want the sauce to be less spicy)
• 300g of tinned tomatoes (3/4 of a regular tin)
• 1 tbsp tomato puree
• 1 tsp sugar
• pinch of salt and pepper

Directions

• Heat oil in a deep fat fryer, or heat 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy-based pan to approx 180c/350f.
• First make the dip. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the chopped onion. Cook for 5 minutes on a medium heat until the onions soften. Add in the garlic and chopped chilli and cook for another minute. Add in the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, sugar and salt & pepper. Bring to a bubble and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring every so often. Blend using hand blender.
• Now make the crispy ravioli. Pour the buttermilk into a bowl.
• Place the breadcrumbs, paprika and garlic salt into another bowl and mix.
• Dip the ravioli in the buttermilk, then dredge in the breadcrumbs until covered. Place into the oil (I fry about 8 at a time) until golden brown. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
• Drain the ravioli and place in a large plate. Spoon the dip into a small bowl and serve together immediately.
