Name: Ravioli with Swiss Chard and Ricotta
Prep time: 1 h
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 1 h 15 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups (300 g) unbleached all-purpose flour; 1/2 tsp salt; 1 egg; 1/2 cup (125 ml) sour cream; 1/4 cup (55 g) unsalted butter, melted; 3/4 lb (340 g) red Swiss chard (about 1 bunch), leaves chopped and stems finely sliced (keep separate); 1 tbsp butter; 1 cup (260 g) ricotta cheese; 2 tbsp currants, soaked in hot water for 5 minutes and drained; 1/4 tsp lemon zest; 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice; 1 pinch ground cinnamon; 1/4 cup (55 g) unsalted butter; 2 tbsp roasted pine nuts; 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped; 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Preparation

Dough
- In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the remaining ingredients and mix just until smooth. Cover in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Filling
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, soften the chard leaves in the butter until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except for the chard stems. Adjust the seasoning.
- Form the dough into balls of about 1 tbsp each. Roll each ball into a 3-inch (7.5 cm) disc. Place 1 tbsp of the filling at the centre of each disc. Brush the border with a small amount of water and fold the discs into half-moons. Press the dough around the filling to get rid of any air bubbles. Set aside on a large plate and cover with a clean dishtowel or plastic wrap.
- In a pot of salted boiling water, cook half of the ravioli at a time for 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove them from the water and transfer to a lightly oiled baking sheet.
Garnish
- Meanwhile, in the same skillet over medium-high heat, soften 1 cup (110 g) of the chard stems (reserve the rest for another use) in 1 tbsp of the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside in a bowl.
- In the same skillet over medium heat, lightly brown half of the ravioli at a time in the remaining butter, about 2 minutes per side. Divide the ravioli among six plates and garnish with the chard stems, pine nuts, parsley and cinnamon.
