75 ml (5 tbsp) vegetable oil
2.5 g (1/2 tsp) salt
2.5 g (1/2 tsp) black pepper
225 g (8 oz) fine wholemeal flour
2 eggs
350 ml (12 fl oz) warm water
4 small onions, coarsely chopped
75 ml (5 tbsp) vegetable oil
2.5 g (1/2 tsp) salt
2.5 g (1/2 tsp) black pepper
225 g (8 oz) fine wholemeal flour

method
1. In a large saucepan, brown the meat and onions in the oil over a low heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Add half the salt and the black pepper. Stir well. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, make the flour into a mound.
4. Make a well in the flour. Sprinkle the remaining salt over the flour and break the eggs into the well, Beat with a whisk, gradually adding the warm water, until the consistency of the dough is smooth and even. Roll the dough into a ball.
5. Cut the dough into approximately 15 equal pieces. One by one, roll each piece out into a thin sheet. Cut 3 X 7.5 cm (3 in) rounds from each sheet with a biscuit cutter.
6. Repeat the process until all the dough is used up.
7. Put 5 g (1 tsp) of the meat and onion filling in the centre of each dough round.
8. Fold the dough over and seal the edges together with the blunt end of a spoon.
9. Bring a very large pot of water to the boil. Drop in the ravioli, about 8 to 15 at a time, depending on the size of the pot.
10. When the water returns to the boil, cook them for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they float to the top.
11. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
12. If the Ravioli are not being served within 30 minutes, refrigerate them.
