Gnocchi

Gnocchi

We’re at “G” in our Vegetarian Alphabet gig. Gnocchi fits the bill nicely. I’m not sure there is a definitive recipe realistically, but this was our attempt.

Ingredients:-

4 medium Potatoes, pealed, boiled and very smoothly mashed
Gluten free Flour
50g Grated Italian style Cheese
Rice Flour
1 Egg
Salt & Pepper
Chopped Chives to garnish

Method:-

(1) Allow the mashed Potato to cool to room temperature so you don’t scramble your Egg.
(2) Mix all the ingredients excluding the Rice Flour and add sufficient Flour to make a very stiff dough.
(3) On a board sprinkled with Rice Flour roll the dough out into a Sausage.
(4) Cut into 2cm slices are roll into balls.
(5) Press between your thumb and the back of a fork.
(6) Bring a pan of salted Water to the boil and then reduce to a simmer.
(7) Boil in batches until they float.
(8) Drain in kitchen paper and serve as you would with Pasta.
(9) Dress with chopped Chives.

OK (9a) We decided they were a bit bland on their lonesome so Sue knocked up a Tomato and Red Pepper sauce and with the addition of a good shovel of grated Cheese we made Gnocchi bake…...

Asian Curry Puffs recipe, eat well on universal credit

OK this is clearly a fusion job! Our first attempt was an on-line Gluten Free recipe which simply didn’t work. We both had a pop at it and both failed. Sometimes recipes just don’t work.

So this was a real fusion dish made from various leftovers!


Ingredients:-

Left over filling from the Nasi Goreing Recipe
Left over filling from the Rellenong Pusit Recipe
2 Tsp of mild Curry Powder
1 Tsp of Chinese 5 Spice
2 Eggs, beaten
1 Tsp of Turmeric
2 rolls of Just Roll Gluten Free Puff Pastry ( Yes I actually bought Pastry! )

Method:-

(1) Mix the leftover filling with the Curry Powder and Chinese 5 Spice in a bowl.
(2) Mix the beaten Eggs and Turmeric in a dish.
(3) Pre-heat the over to 180c.
(4) Use an inverted bowl to cut circles out of the pastry.
(5) Add filling so they will be well packed, but you will be able to close the edges.
(6) Crimp the pastry to seal the fillings in.
(7) Brush with the Egg wash to add colour during cooking.
(8) Place in the oven for 45 minutes.
(9) Remove and place on a rack to cool.
(10) Freeze if required.
 

I work with a Vegetarian and a Vegan neither of who will appreciate these. But Clay, Jason, Dillan and I will….. We got 10 ‘Pasties’ on of left-overs and pastry. So the total cost including the Eggs etc. is about 22p each!
