CRAB AND SALMON RAVIOLI
Pasta, a recent addition to the Irish culinary repertoire, is fast becoming a favorite. At Longueville House in Mallow, Ireland, ravioli is taken to refined heights in this dish, which is served as an appetizer. They make it with large rounds of homemade pasta, but store-bought gyoza wrappers are a good substitute.

Steps:
- Lightly sprinkle large baking sheet with flour. Bring medium saucepan of water to boil. Add carrot and ginger and blanch 1 minute. Drain and cool.
- Remove any bones from salmon. Chop salmon coarsely. Transfer to processor. Add cream and egg white; puree. Transfer to bowl. Mix in carrot, ginger, crab, onion, celery, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Place 1 gyoza wrapper on work surface. Place 1 level tablespoon filling in center. Brush edges with water. Cover with another gyoza wrapper and press firmly around edges to seal. Transfer to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining gyoza wrappers and filling. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover with plastic and chill.)
- Bring large saucepan of water to boil. Add gyoza in batches and cook until tender, about 3 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer gyoza to another baking sheet. Cover with foil.
- Combine oil, vinegar and lemon juice in large skillet. Stir over medium heat until warm. Add tomatoes, snow peas and celery; stir just until heated through, 2 minutes. Add chives. Divide mixture among plates. Place ravioli atop vinaigrette.
CRAB AND PRAWN RAVIOLI IN SEAFOOD BISQUE
This is a dish I learned to make at Leith's cooking school in London. It takes a little work, but is divine. You could make the pasta dough, filling and sauce ahead of time, but I recommend cooking the pasta as soon as possible after you've made it. If you must store it for a few hours, then separate the ravioli with plastic wrap or parchment paper to keep them from sticking together.

Steps:
- Make the pasta by mixing all the ingredients together in a food processor with the normal blade.
- You can also do this by mixing the flour and eggs together by hand on a wooden board, but it just takes longer and the end result is the same.
- Turn the dough out onto the counter.
- Use your hands to shape it into a ball and draw together any crumbs.
- Wrap in clingfilm and leave to relax in a cool place for an hour.
- Meanwhile, make the filling.
- Remove the prawns from their shells.
- Put the crabmeat and prawns in the food processor and whiz until smooth.
- Add the egg white, lemon juice salt and pepper and whiz again until just mixed.
- Stir in the chives, cover and set aside.
- Make the sauce.
- Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan and fry all the shells and onion until they start to brown.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the brandy, tomatoes, bay leaf, tomato puree and star anise.
- Add the stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Strain the sauce and reduce to 150 ml by boiling rapidly.
- Add the cream, reduce to the consistency of single cream and season to taste.
- Set the sauce aside and roll out your pasta dough as thinly as possible using a pasta maker.
- You want a strip about 6 inches wide.
- Place teaspoonfuls of the filling in even rows at intervals of 1 1/2 inches over half of the pasta.
- Fold the other half over the mounds of filling.
- Press together, firmed around each mound to make sure you have squeezed out all the air.
- Cut between the rows, making sure the edges are sealed.
- You can use a fork to decorate the edges.
