Ingredients:
- 1 pound of fresh grouper fillets
- 1 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 2 cups of marinara sauce
- Extra Parmesan cheese for garnish
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic clove, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. This mixture will serve as the delicious filling for your grouper ravioli.
Step 2: Cook the Grouper
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the fresh grouper fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil. You can season the grouper with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Bake the fillets for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. Allow the cooked fish to cool for a few minutes, then break it into small chunks.
Step 3: Assemble the Ravioli
Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the prepared filling mixture in the center. Top it with a few pieces of the cooked grouper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your finger, then fold it over to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal the ravioli. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 4: Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove the cooked ravioli using a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
In a separate saucepan, warm up the marinara sauce over low heat. Divide the ravioli among serving plates and spoon the marinara sauce on top. Sprinkle some extra grated Parmesan cheese over the ravioli, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve your grouper ravioli immediately, and relish the delightful flavors!
