Recipe from: Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade 20 Minute Meals 2
Total Time: 20 min/ Makes: 4 servings

vegetable oil, for frying
1 pkg. (9 oz) refrigerated four cheese ravioli

For Tomato Pepper Relish
1 cup roasted red peppers, drained, finely chopped
1/4 cup diced tomatoes, drained, finely chopped
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

For Artichoke Caper Dip
1 jar (6.5 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, drained, finely chopped
2 teaspoons capers
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

In a straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat. (The oil is ready when a drop of water splatters in the skillet.) When oil is ready, carefully fry ravioli until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towel-lined plate.

For tomato pepper relish, combine red peppers and tomatoes in a small bowl. Stir in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar and set aside.

For artichoke caper dip, combine artichoke hearts, capers, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve ravioli hot with Tomato Pepper Relish and Artichoke Caper Dip.
