Sweet Potato Gnocchi
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups plain flour
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- to serve:
- 1/2 bunch fresh kale
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 1 tsp sage
- 2 cloves garlic
Preparation
Peel & chop potatoes. Boil them under they’re soft and tender, then transfer to a bowl and mash
Add the olive oil, salt and flour. Keep adding flour gradually as you mix the dough with your hands until it’s less sticky and can be rolled like regular dough
Cut into sections and roll into thin ropes. Cut into small pieces
Bring a pot of water to the boil and cook the gnocchi until they float to the top (this happens very quickly) drain
Heat a tiny bit of olive oil in a pan and add the gnocchi. Pan fry them on a low to medium heat for 5-10 mins until they’re golden and starting to brown on the sides. Remove from the pan. Put aside
In the same pan add the chopped kale and heat & mix just for a minute to soften. Transfer to serving bowls
In the same pan, add the butter and garlic, cook for a minute then add the sage and pine nuts. Stir and cook on a low heat until pine nuts start to brown. Add the cooked gnocchi back to the pan and stir to coat. Transfer to serving bowls, on top of the kale. ENJOY
