Chocolate-Hazelnut and Banana Ravioli

Ingredients:

•  16 won ton wrappers
• 1 banana, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
• vegetable oil for frying

In a small bowl, combine the banana, sugar and walnuts.

Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of each won ton wrapper. 

Put 1 teaspoon of the banana mixture and top with a teaspoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread in the centerof each wrapper.

 

Fold 1 corner of each won ton wrapper diagonally over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Fill a large frying pan with about 3/4-inch oil. 

Heat over medium heat until a deep frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 375 degrees F. 

Fry the ravioli 3 at a time, turning occasionally, until golden, about 1 minute on each side. 

 Drain on paper towels. 

Cool for 2 minutes and serve warm. 

***The fried ravioli can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool them completely, then cover and refrigerate. Before serving, place them on a baking sheet and rewarm in a preheated 375 degrees F oven just until they are heated through, about 7 minutes.***
