Raw Ravioli

Here's a picture of the finished product.   

I have to go to work right now though, but when I get home I'll post more pictures and explain how I made it.  These are beef ravioli, going to make cheese ravioli next.

Alright, to make these raviolis, First I started off with the sauce.  I took one tomato, chopped it up into little cubes, and let all the liquids drain off as much as I could, then I added paprika, cayenne, basil, a bit of lemon juice, a little bit of chopped up green peppers and garlic, and some himalayan pink salt, then threw all this in the blender. (fresh garlic, paprika, cayenne, basil, himalayan salt, green pepper, and cinnamon are the only spices I own right now , all organic though, but that's all I have to work with.. if you want to make these, you can use whatever spices you like, or have, to make it taste the way you want.  I'm sure they'd taste much better with other spices, unless you like bland stuff, then you could make it without spices at all.)  I took the raw meat, I had about a half pound of trader joe's 100% grass fed ground beef, and took a little less than half of that ( so about a little less than 1/4 pound of meat ) and spread it out on a plate.  To that meat I added more spices and salt, mixed it all up together, and threw it in the blender on top of the tomatoes, added an ounce or so of olive oil, then blended it all together.  I split that in half, pouring each half in one small bowl.

For the meat filling, I took the rest of the half pound of ground beef, and spread it out flat on a plate.  Then I added lemon juice, a bunch of paprika, some salt, and only a little bit of cayenne, because I had added too much cayenne to the tomato sauce, and it was really spicy.  I mixed it all together as well as I could, and then got the fattest zucinni I had.  I peeled it, then cut it in half lengthwise, then used my peeler to slice of long, thin, fat strips of zucinni.  Then I pulled off pieces of the meat, and rolled them in the zucinni slices to act as the pasta, and arranged these on a plate.. Here's a picture of the raviolis after I rolled them all up:

After that, I poured the sauce over them, added nama shoyo, a bit of olive oil, salt, paprika, basil, green peppers, and raw cheese shavings to the top, and there we go!

I love cheese, so I added extra cheese on this last one:

nice presentation wolf!  did you get to share this dish with any friends or your dad?

[Wolf]

Thanks!  And no, I wouldn't share any recipes with raw meat in them anyways, because people would freak out at me, lol.. maybe the cheese ones I would, but then I'm greedy with food and if they're good, I'll want them all to myself.
