Crisp-fried cheese ravioli

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (250ml) buttermilk
2 cups panko breadcrumbs (see note)
500g packet good-quality cheese ravioli
Sunflower oil, to deep-fry
300ml good-quality tomato pasta sauce
Parsley and grated parmesan, to serve

METHOD
1.Place buttermilk and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Dip each ravioli first in buttermilk, then in crumbs to coat.

2.Half-fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan with oil and heat to 190°C (the oil is hot enough when a cube of bread turns golden in 30 seconds). Working in batches of 5, fry ravioli for 1-2
minutes until crumbs are golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.

3.Meanwhile, heat sauce in a small pan over low heat to warm through. Season, then transfer to a bowl.

4.Arrange ravioli on a platter, sprinkle with parsley and parmesan, then serve with the sauce for dipping.
