Lobster and Potato Ravioli with Tomato Saffron Sauce

In small saucepan, combine potatoes, stock, oil, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper; bring to simmer. Cover and cook over low heat until potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to bowl along with cooking liquid; let cool. Discard parsley and thyme. Mix in lobster.

On work surface, moisten edge of 1 dumpling wrapper with some of the egg. Place heaping tablespoonful (15 mL) lobster mixture on centre of wrapper and cover with second wrapper. Pinch edges together to seal, pressing gently to eliminate air pockets. Prick edges with tines of fork. Repeat to make 15 more ravioli. (Make-ahead: Place on floured baking sheet and cover with towel, then plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 8 hours.)

Tomato Saffron Sauce: In small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring tomatoes, wine, shallots and salt to boil; boil until liquid is reduced to 1 tbsp (15 mL), about 8 minutes. Add clam juice; cook until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat; crumble saffron into sauce. Set aside. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.)

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook ravioli until wrappers are tender, about 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring sauce to simmer; remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Stir in basil. Divide watercress among 8 plates. With slotted spoon, place 2 ravioli on each; spoon sauce over ravioli.
