Shelly's Tofu Ravioli

 

1 pkg won ton wrappers, (or vegan pasta dough rolled out)

1 lb extra firm tofu

1/2 lb fresh spinach, finely chopped

5 oz mushrooms chopped

1/2 a red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 large bunch chives, or scallions chopped fine

1/3 c. ground sunflower seeds, (use spice grinder)

4-6 sundried tomatoes, soaked in boiling water

3-4 baby carrots finely grated

3 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes, (optional)

1 tsp crushed rosemary

2-3 cloves garlic crushed

splash of lemon juice

soymilk to thin

fresh cracked pepper to taste

sea salt to taste

 

 

 

 

Mill sunflower seeds into meal consistency then set aside.

Drain sundried tomatoes and finely chop.

Blend sliced tofu, lemon juice, sea salt, nutritional yeast and soy milk until

ricotta like consistency in a food processor OR by hand (NOT a blender - you'll

get paste!).

FINELY dice tomatoes, red peppers, and chives.

Blend with tofu mixture by hand with a fork just until well mixed.

In a small bowl combine tofu mixture with remaining ingredients and mix until

thoroughly combined.

Place a scant 1 Tbsp of mixture in center of wonton wrapper (or other vegan

ravioli dough rolled out). Wet, crimp and seal edges of wrapper SECURELY (or the

wrapper will open in the pan and contents will spill out).

Cook a few at a time in your vegetable steamer making sure to not crowd pan or

they will stick to each other and be glue-ey.

Keep warm on a covered dish while the remainder cook.

Toss with a bit of olive oil when they are cooked to prevent sticking.

Top with a little fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, your favorite sauce and

vegan parmesan cheese as desired.

" The won-ton wrappers and ready made sauce make this tofu ravioli go together

quickly if you organize it all ahead of time and work fast. The tofu filling is

too hearty for the delicate won-ton wrappers to hold up in boiling water but

steaming worked beautifully. I also sprayed a light coat of olive oil over the

bottom of my metal steamer - not necessary with a bamboo steamer.

 

SV Note: These are otherwise vegan. But many commercial won-ton wrappers contain

eggs. We've tried to find a vegan brand which is widely available, with no

success. Shelley gets hers at a Chinese grocer in her area.

 

If you can't find vegan wonton wrappers, try substituting a commercial pasta

dough or making your own pasta dough using high gluten bread flour. "
