Preparation
  1. 1
    1- Preparation of the black sesame stuffing
    • Lightly toast the black sesame seeds in a dry pan over low heat to release their aromas. Leave to cool.
    • Blend the black sesame seeds in a food processor until you obtain a powdery texture.
    • Add the sugar and butter (or coconut oil) to the processor, then blend again to form a thick paste.
    • Take small amounts of the dough and form balls approximately 1 cm in diameter. Place them in the freezer if necessary, so that they harden slightly.

    2- Preparation of the ravioli dough

    • Cover the dough with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out while you prepare the ravioli.

    • Place a ball of stuffing in the center, gently close the dough around the stuffing and roll again to obtain a perfect round shape.
    • Repeat the operation until the ingredients are used up.
