Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 400 grams crushed tomatoes
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives, chopped
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 40 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
Stir in the oregano, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest. Mix until well incorporated.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper. Top with a small spoonful of the cooled beef mixture.
Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper lightly with the beaten egg. Fold each wrapper into a triangle (or seal with another wrapper on top) and press the edges firmly to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer and carefully drop the ravioli in small batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the ravioli float to the surface.
Remove the ravioli with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate. Drizzle lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Serve the ravioli warm, topped with grated parmesan cheese and additional chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
