When we eat edamame, S and I usually have a contest. We see who does a neater job sucking the edamame out of their pods. I win. Always. Eating edamame in its shell is fun, but for making this amazing ravioli, shelled edamame is very convenient. All you have to do is open a bag and thaw. God bless whoever invented shelled edamame!
serves about 3
For the filling
1/4 scant cup walnuts
1 cup Edamame, shelled and frozen
1 small garlic clove
1 tbsp white wine
Salt and Pepper
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
18-20 wonton wrappers
Place the walnuts in a large pan. Toast the walnuts on medium heat until they are lightly browned. To the pan, add frozen, shelled edamame, garlic clove, white wine, salt and pepper. (Make sure you season the mixture well, it makes a big difference in the final result!)
Let the wine bubble away on medium heat, about 1 minute. When the wine has evaporated, transfer the walnut-edamame mixture to a food processor. Blend into a smooth paste.
Place about 18 to 20 wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place a teaspoon full of the walnut-edamame mixture in the center of the wonton wrapper. Then sprinkle some chopped chives on top of the mixture.
Dip your finger in water and coat all four sides of the wonton wrapper with water. This will help the edges to stick. Fold the wonton over to make a triangle. Make sure none of filling is leaking out. Press the edges together to seal. Repeat for all wonton wrappers.
In a large pot, bring plenty of water to a gentle boil. Place the ravioli a few at a time into the water. Boil them gently for about 1 minute. (A rapid boil may break apart the ravioli). Ravioli are done when they rise to the top. Remove the ravioli from the water and place on a towel and gently pat dry. You could spray them with a little olive oil to keep them from sticking.
For the Spinach Mushroom Saute
8 oz box of mushrooms
1 small garlic clove
3 tbsp white wine
4 cups fresh baby spinach tightly packed
2 tbsp fresh chives chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and Pepper
Chop the mushrooms. Rise spinach leaves, and finely mince the garlic clove. Heat olive oil in a pan. Add the chopped mushrooms in a single layer. Cook the mushrooms on medium high heat, moving them as little as possible, until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Then add the minced garlic, salt, pepper and white wine. Let the wine bubble and evaporate a little. Then add the spinach leaves and sauté till they are just wilted.
To serve the ravioli – place the spinach mushroom sauté in a serving dish. Place the ravioli on top. Garnish with chives.
Good one Sala..Vibrant green adds to the beauty of the pic..:)

Very interesting ravioli. Sounds delicious. Lovely pictorial.

Lovely! The step by step pictures are wonderful. Every time I eat edamame with my kids, I have to watch to make sure one of them doesn’t eat the pod!
[Reply]
It looks like the perfect spring dish! I’d love to have some with a glass of white wine on a patio (smile)
[Reply]
Very creative. I love the recipe!

Hey Sala, how have you been? I was on a break, and missed a lot of your posts that I hope to catch up soon
I was watching the Food network pasta challenge yesterday and saw a lady using wonton wrappers for her raviolis, I fell in love with the idea of it. It was light and beautifully showcased the filling, just because it is such a thin wrapper.
Today, I see it again here, and I am totally tempted to try it out. Those pictures just are a treat!
P.S. I adore your new layout for the blog.

Mmm, that looks really yummy & I just happen to have wonton wrappers & frozen edamame that I need to use up before an upcoming move.

Hello, new here, and have a great time poking around your recipes. This one is particular strikes me at the moment. I have never tried to make homemade ravioli, and I’m not sure why now seeing how easy it is. Thanks for the inspiration!
[Reply]
Wow, I COMPLETELY underestimated this recipe. It was incredible!!! My mom and I couldn’t stop eating. One of my new favorite meals. It was definitely time-consuming, but so worth it. Going to make a huge batch this weekend to freeze so we always have some on hand. Thanks!

Hey Sala. I’ve been wanting to try this recipe out but can’t find wonton wrappers that are eggless. Were the ones you used eggless? If yes, where did you get them?
Thanks :0)

i think mine was eggless. I get the wonton wrappers from the asian store and they are usually made from flour and water. If you cant find them at an asia store you could make your own. There are a lot of tutorials online.
