They’re vegan, gluten free and completely dazzling. These fine raw beet ravioli are stuffed with a neat creamy cashew cheese and coupled with a red Beaujolais wine. A wonderfully colorful fall meal.

The vital time I made raw beet ravioli was as soon as a handful of years ago, after enjoying with out a doubt one of the handiest meals of my lifestyles at a raw vegan restaurant in NYC. Sadly, that restaurant is no longer in industry, however the journey of eating there opened my mind to an fully novel technique to revel in meals—no oven, no stovetop, handsome in reality superior substances spirited in pleasant style combinations.

Raw meals customarily gets a imperfect rap due to the it is miles going to also be time-intensive and require a amount of (dear) strong point substances. That’s under no conditions how I carry out raw meals. 5 years ago? Yes, I gave complicated a recede. On the present time? Heck no! I am all about easy meals with minimal prep work. We recently adopted a chihuahua puppy from our native safe haven (his identify is Mousse!) and with his spunky persona and dinky, glean-into-the complete lot dimension, he’s keeping us all on our toes when he’s no longer literally biting them. I admire that puppy vitality so mighty and few things are better than a sleepy fur-baby curled as a lot as your chest, however we’re in that allotment the keep getting even potentially the most classic of things completed feels deserving of a gold star…or at the least a glass of wine.

For this present day’s raw beet ravioli, we’re furious to be taking part with Beaujolais wines, particularly since the timing would perhaps well well no longer be better. Having a dinky glass of wine with dinner is with out a doubt one of the systems Aaron and I truly comprise been unwinding from the craziness of our days, and it makes even the finest of meals feel a dinky bit extra particular.

When you’re no longer yet conscious of Beaujolais French wines, you’re in for a treat. They attain in red, white, and rosé, they’re high quality with out being elitist, and they pair effectively with a huge diversity of foods. We’ve been loving this Moulin-à-Vent, Domaine des Rosiers, 2015, which is plump-bodied and intricate with hints of spice and ripe fruit. Most regularly, I’m no longer one for immense reds (that’s Aaron’s jam), however this particular wine has handsome the handsome amount of floral and fruity, and it goes so effectively with the candy earthiness of the beets and the creamy tang of the cashew cheese.

To help stability the vitality of the wine and in reality recede all in on the Descend flavors, I topped the ravioli with some diced apple, chopped walnuts, and a sprinkle of freshly torn chronicle. It makes for a good extra stunning presentation and potentially the most fine mix of new and hearty—ultimate for those still-warm, however a dinky bit crisp Descend nights.
