Ravioli With Foie Gras and Truffles

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Cut the foie gras into slices about half an inch thick or slightly larger. Cut the slices into half-inch or slightly larger cubes. Dip one side of each cube into the chopped truffles and set aside.

2. Step 2

   Use the won-ton skins to make ravioli. Begin by laying the skins on a flat surface and, using a pastry brush, brush around the inside perimeter of each skin with water, making a 1-inch brushed margin. Place one piece of foie gras in the center of each won-ton skin. Fold over one corner of the won ton to meet its opposite corner, and enclose the foie gras. Press all around with the fingers to seal. Use a biscuit cutter to press around the filled won-ton skin to make a neat moon shape.

3. Step 3

   Bring the broth to a simmer in a saucepan, and add the ravioli. When the liquid returns to a simmer, let the ravioli cook 1 minute. Remove the ravioli carefully with a slotted spoon. Put 5 ravioli in each of 4 heated soup plates. Spoon equal amounts of the broth over each serving, and sprinkle each serving with an equal amount of the shaved truffle. Serve immediately.
