Directions

Beet Ravioli
Mise en Place

  • Peel the beets. Using a mandolin or sharp knife, thinly slice the peeled beets. Slice them as thin as possible.
  • If time allows, place the beets in a small sandwich bag in the fridge overnight with 1/4 t salt. This will soften the beets and give them a more noodle-like texture.

Arrange half the beet slices on your work surface. Pipe a small amount of filling (about ½ teaspoon) onto the center of half of the beet slices leaving about 1/5-inch border around the edge.

Place another slice of beet on top and gently press down on the edges.

Garnish with thinly sliced beet greens tossed with a squeeze of lemon juice.
