Words that make us feel good should be carried with us always.
\nFor instance, my friend Gilla claims that if I want to, I will have a great vegan chef.
\nThanks to her, I started using new ingredients like peanut butter for making the shortcrust pastry of these Raviole of Bologna.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gilla’s words motivate me to step out of my comfort zone of tried-and-true family foods and traditional recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trying new dishes and flavor combinations, as happened with the\u00a0<\/span>red cabbage rag\u00f9<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, and unusual ingredients is part of my job as a recipe developer and food writer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some time ago, I started to cook using different ingredients than usual.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, I had never used peanut butter before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re thinking of something with millions of calories, I’ll stop you right there. It depends on the product you buy and how much you eat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the sign Peanut Butter, there are many different products.<\/span><\/p>\n

They can include sugar added, salt, and sometimes too much various seed oils. Generally, I don’t recommend abusing it: would you eat a stick of butter in one bite? If not, don’t finish a jar of peanut butter at one time.<\/span><\/p>\n

I bought peanut butter with no added sugar and a little sunflower oil.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cream has a golden peanut color and is soft and smooth.<\/span><\/p>\n

It smells good and, compared to butter, leaves a trace of flavor.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don’t like peanuts, it’s not for you. If you want a tasteless vegetable and vegan butter, choose cocoa butter.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may sound unbelievable, but it doesn’t taste like chocolate, and you can use it for sweet and savory preparations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Raviole<\/p>\n

Pink Raviole of Bologna\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

After tasting the peanut butter, I realized that it would pass a little of its flavor to the dough.
\nTherefore, I thought of a filling that would go well with the taste of the shortcrust pastry.
\nBut before the filling, let me say one more thing about the shortcrust pastry. To the dough of flour and peanut butter, I also added a mixture of red wine, Alkermes, and water.
\nFor the filling, I chose cherry jam. Its taste works well with that of peanut butter.
\nI brushed the surface of the Raviole of Bologna with some Alkermes diluted with water and baked it in the oven.
\nI was curious to see the shortcrust pastry after baking. You can see the result. If you want to enjoy these cookies, you need to make them! The recipe is also vegan.<\/p>\n

Buona cucina, Monica<\/p>\n

On the blog, I shared the recipe and history of the traditional\u00a0<\/span>Raviole of Saint Joseph<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. However, raviole are so good that city bakeries never lack them! A mouth-watering version of these filled cookies is\u00a0<\/span>the one with custard<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, a variation that -I admit- I love very much.<\/span><\/p>\n
