Caramelized Onion & Chard Ravioli

Recipe from the Wyllie Fox Farm Kitchen

Caramelized onions (recipe follows)
2 bunches swiss chard, washed & stems removed
40 fresh won-ton wrappers
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 stick butter
freshly grated parmesan cheese
black pepper, to taste

Steam swiss chard for approx. 5 minutes until tender.  Allow to cool, then squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely.  Mix with caramelized onions & 1 egg white.

Make an egg-wash by mixing the remaining egg white and 2 tbsp water.  Place a heaping tablespoon onion-chard mixture in the center of a won-ton wrapper.  Brush two edges of wrapper with egg wash, then fold the opposite two edges over the filling and press firmly to seal.  Be careful to press air pockets out of raviolis. 

Cook raviolis a few at a time (avoid overcrowding) in salted water approx. 4 minutes until they float to the surface.  Top with melted butter, freshly grated parmesan cheese & black pepper to taste. 

Caramelized Onions: In a wide, deep skillet, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium heat.  Add 3 pounds onions, sliced 1/3” thick.  Cook until limp & reduced in volume, about 5 minutes.  Toss with 1¼ salt, turn heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.  Add 1 cup dry white wine, stir, and cover again.  Cook for another 20 minutes, then stir again.  Continue to cook until they start to sizzle, then uncover & stir more often until liquid is cooked off.  Add 1 tbsp sherry vinegar and season with salt & pepper to taste.

Serves 4-6
