Cooking with Ramps - Now Open
« on: July 30, 2006, 11:25:07 PM »
I posted this nice simple question on smfcboard which is a South Melbourne Hellas forum but they couldnt help me. I wanna cook some ravioli, the recipe tells me i gotta sautee the ravioli, but im greek and in all my 36 and a bit years ive just boiled pasta. So what I wanna know is can you just sautee ravioli or do you have to stick it in boiling water for 2 or 3 minutes before sauteeing?

Thanks
help greatly appreciated.

OER will shortly proudly announce a  new section called 'Cooking with Ramps"  ;D

If its fresh rather than frozen it shouldnt be a problem to sautee it. Just keep the heat low so it cooks through without burning the outside.

I was hoping to get that frozen rubbish and boil it for say 3 or 4 minutes and let the water run off it and then sautee it, but I dont know if that would work.

Never heard of sauteeing pasta  ??? and I have Italian heritage on my mum's side. Usually we just chuck everything in one big pot and let all the flavours mix through :thumbsup. I'm guessing sauteeing is using fresh/home made pasta which you spread herbs and/or spices over then cook (boil) to entrench the flavours of the herbs and spices (?).

Btw for something different eat the hard pasta you buy off the shelves raw. Nice and crunchy  ;).

Well I have some concerns about the fact that you think that our players wanna play chef with the footy and sticking balls in hot water I dont recommend either, so what I suggest is you avoid the hot water at all costs and dont overcook the ball, Id suggest a nice gyros souvlaki with tsatziki, tomoto, lettuce, red onion rapped in a nice pita bread...Itll be good for your health as well and I particularly recommend this strategy for young Meyer and Oakley Nicholls and afew others ;D

Anymore queries just ask Dr Ramps...I will assist all of you with your issues at my earliest convenience ;D

Ramps,

Is there a special way of marinating meat for Souvlaki? If so, what do you recommend?

I just can't seem to get even close to flavour of Hollywood's wonderful souvlaki's.

After conducting extensive analysis on Google lol  :help

I have come up with this Moi

1) 50 minutes per kilogram of pork
2) 1 spoon fennel seeds
3) sea salt
4) black cracked pepper
5) Olive Oil
6) Boiling Water

Score the skin well- get a butcher to score it
Pour boiling water- over the meat to open up the scoring
dry the meat really well
stick it in fridge for 2 hours
then mix fennel seeds with olive oil and rub well into the meat
then add heaps of salt rubbing it into the slots and well over the meat
medium to hot oven- although Id say closer to hot


Method 2

Cut the rind of the meat completely (probably get your butcher to do it)
score really well
stick it in shallow baking dish
use fennel seed, olive oil mixture
then heaps of sea salt as Method 1
In a poo hot oven

Obviously your baking the wrind on its own.


Cooking with Ramps continues tomorrow :scream
