Directions: |
Directions:Heat olive oil in sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add yellow onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add pepper, cook about 5 minutes more. Add salt, pepper, herbs and green onions. Cook a few more minutes. Remove mixture from heat, pour into colander to drain all liquid. Once mixture has cooled, add crab or lobster meat and bread crumbs. Season to taste. Use the basic ravioli dough recipe but on these make sure you use the opposite ratio of semolina to white flour. It creates a better texture for the seafood filling. Fills one ravioli dough recipe. |

Notes: Be careful to buy fresh or premium canned seafood or it will be too salty. I sometimes do a quick cold rinse when I used to can to remove salty liquid first. If you go to fish market later in the day, perhaps 1/2 hour before close you can sometimes cut a deal or buy pre-cooked lobsters whole and do meat yourself. The crab... trust me, stick to canned.
