Deep-Fried Ravioli On a Stick

Deep-Fried Ravioli On a Stick from justataste.com #recipe

At the very tip top of my food blogger inspirations list is a man whose blog I have admired since the first time I ever hit “publish” on Just a Taste. And that’s why the second his cookbook hit stores, I sprinted to my nearest Barnes & Noble and picked up a copy.

Matt Armendariz, you are one talented dude.

Matt’s book, On a Stick!, is one of the most beautiful and thoughtfully laid out books I’ve ever read. Page after page is filled with vibrant and flawless-looking food styled by his crazy skilled partner Adam Pearson. The recipes are simple but inspiring, creative but approachable. I knew I had to share one of my favorites, and so I fried up a batch of his skewered ravioli. And just for fun, I threw in a batch of tortellini, too. Party-perfect indeed.

    kelly you are so talented your recipes are the best.cant wait to start making them
    thanks again for the print button,i have been printing since yesterday.

  2. Do you think I could make these and the corn dogs in advance and then heat them up in the oven before serving? I want to make a large number of them for a party.

    1. Hi Kim – I’ve never tried that with either recipe so I can’t say with certainty what the results would be but my guess is that they’d get soggy when you reheat them.
