Ingredients

1 tbsp	Extra virgin olive oil (for filling)
1/2 cup	White onion (finely chopped; for filling)
1 clove(s)	Garlic (finely minced; for filling)
454 gm	Beef, ground (for filling)
227 gm	Swiss chard (or spinach; stemmed and coarsely chopped; for filling)
1 dash	Nutmeg, ground (for filling)
1 dash	Salt and pepper (to taste; for filling)
2 cup	Buckwheat flour
1/4 tsp	Sea Salt
2 egg yolk	Egg yolk
1 medium	Egg
1 tbsp	Extra virgin olive oil

In a large bowl, add buckwheat flour and salt, whisk to combine. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add egg yolks, egg, olive oil and water.
With a fork, gently beat the egg mixture without incorporating any of the flour mixture. Now with the fork, begin mixing in the flour mixture, a little at a time, with a stirring motion, until the dough is too stiff to mix with the fork.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead and shape dough into a smooth ball. If the dough is too dry, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough is soft and pliable, but not too wet.
Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Working with half of the dough at a time, roll out to a 1/8 inch thickness, then cut into 3-inch circles.
Spoon a tablespoon of filling onto the center of a dough circle, then moisten the edges with water. Top with another dough circle and press along the edges until ravioli is firmly sealed. Set aside on a lightly floured surface. Repeat with remaining dough circles and filling.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently slide ravioli into the water and cook, a few at a time, until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove ravioli from pot with a skimmer, plate, serve with ajvar.
