Mix together the crème fraîche and horseradish (or mustard, if using). Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon a teaspoon of the mixture into the pastry cups and top with a slice of rare roast beef and a sprig of watercress. Serve immediately
Deep-fried ravioli
Heat oil in a wok or in deep saucepan until hot or until a cube of bread browns in 15 seconds.
Cook frozen ravioli in small batches, using a slotted spoon, gently move the ravioli to ensure even colouring.
Cook 1—2 minutes. Remove with a kitchen spider or slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper.
Mix dipping sauce ingredients together, adding more water for a runnier sauce.
Place on serving platter and serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Other varieties suitable for deep frying include:
Roast duck ravioli with ginger & star anise – serve with tomato and chilli jam
Beef ravioli- serve with eggplant, cumin and chilli sauce
Lamb ravioli – serve with slow roasted capsicum and eggplant sauce
Crispy noodle bowls with chinese bbq pork
Preheat oven 220° C/ 200° C fan forced and grease two 12 cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
Cook noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Remove excess water by patting noodles with absorbent paper.
Taking a small amount of noodles at a time, shape noodles into small flat discs and place them into the pan. Press down firmly and spray with cooking spray. Bake 10—15 minutes or until crisp and golden. Allow to cool before removing from tin.
Arrange a slice of bbq pork on each noodle basket and top with a dollop of hoisin sauce and green onion slices. Serve immediately.
