Modern Redaction


Ingredients:

For the Dough:
230g flour
1 large egg
olive oil to moisten and fry

For the filling:
6 tbsp ground almonds

For the sauce:
6 tbsp honey
2 tbsp dry white wine

Method:

Place the flour in a bowl and add the egg. Add a few drops of olive oil to this and mix to bring the dough together. This should be a fairly stiff dough and if possible pass this through a pasta maker several times to increase elasticity and to gain a thin sheet of dough (if you don't have a pasta maker roll the dough very thinly on a cold floured surface).

Cut small ravioli-sized rectangles, fill with ground almonds, fold over and seal. Pour oil into a frying pan until it coats the base evenly to a depth of about 2mm. When the oil is hot add the ground almond ravioli and fry until browned on both sides.

Meanwhile add the honey and wine to a small saucepan and heat until the honey becomes liquid. Place the pastries in a bowl and pour the honey sauce over the top. Place these in an oven pre-heated to 190°C and cook for about five to ten minutes. Serve immediately.
