In line with World Vegan Day on November 1, we at the Falkensteiner Balance Resort Stegersbach have placed our culinary focus this month even more strongly on plant-based nutrition. In addition to this culinary delight, we offered an exciting program around the topic of ‘veganism’, which was equally suitable for open-minded newcomers and full-time vegans with its multifaceted nature.
The various cooking courses were particularly well-received, and we would like to share some of their recipes with you:
Vegetable ravioli
For the ravioli:
- 200g soft wheat semolina
- 100g durum wheat semolina
- 150ml water
- ½ tsp salt
For the filling:
- 300g autumn vegetables (carrot, zucchini, celery, etc.).
- 1 onion (small)
- salt
- black pepper (freshly ground)
Preparation:
For the ravioli, mix all the ingredients and knead with 150 ml of water to form a smooth dough. Form the dough into a ball, put it in a sealable container, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, chop the autumn vegetables and onion very finely and fry them in a non-stick pan without oil until hot. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, roll out the pasta dough very thinly and cut out 20 circles about 13 centimeters. Place 1 tbsp of the filling in the center of each circle, brush the edge with a little water, fold over and close tightly with a fork or finger.
Cook the ravioli in salted boiling water until al dente.
Mushroom risotto

Cook the rice gently for about 12 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the remaining margarine and the vegan cheese.
