Herb Gnocchi With Mushroom Sauce Food

GNOCCHI WITH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Blitz the capers, anchovies, garlic, lemon juice and herbs with 3 tbsp of the olive oil to make a sauce. Season and set aside.
• Cook the gnocchi in salted water according to pack instructions, then drain. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat and add the gnocchi. Fry until crisp on the outside and warm all the way through - about 3 mins - remove from the pan and leave to drain on kitchen paper. Toss the gnocchi with the sauce, then divide between bowls, top with lemon zest and cracked black pepper to serve.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• For gnocchi:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Pierce potatoes with fork. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly; cut potatoes in half and scoop pulp into large bowl. Mash potatoes well. Mix in egg yolk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix in enough flour to form firm, slightly elastic dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Gently roll 1 portion between hands and work surface to form 1/2-inch-thick rope about 18 inches long. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece over tines of dinner fork to make grooves in gnocchi. Arrange gnocchi in single layer on floured baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 portions of dough.
• Working in small batches, cook gnocchi in large pot of boiling salted water until gnocchi rise to top and are tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to large baking pan. (Gnocchi can be prepared ahead. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.)
• For mushroom sauce:
• Cook butter and olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat until butter begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add stock and sage; simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add gnocchi to sauce in skillet and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Add arugula and stir until wilted. Divide equally among bowls. Drizzle with truffle oil, if desired. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Place whole unpeeled potatoes into a medium saucepan with cold water on medium heat.
• Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until soft enough to mash.
• Check with a knife to see if potatoes are cooked through and tender (they'll still be a lil hard, you don't want them cooked all the way through).
• Once ready drain the potatoes.
• When cool enough to handle peel each potato and mash.
• Add the 1/2 the flour, 1/2 the Parmesan, both egg yolks, all the nutmeg, thyme, salt and pepper
• Mix into a doughy consistency adding more flour as needed.
• Transfer dough to a well floured surface.
• Roll pieces of the dough into a rope about 1/2-inch in diameter.
• With a knife cut the rope into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-long pieces.
• Flour the pieces as you cut them placing them on a floured baking sheet tray or lined with wax paper.
• Place the gnocchi in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for 1 hour.
• When ready to cook place gnocchi in boiling salted water for about 1 to 2 minutes (They will rise to the top when done).
• Using a slotted spoon remove gnocchi from pot and place into ice water bath to stop cooking.
• For the sauce
• In a skillet add the butter and mushrooms and saute until nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the white wine and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
• Add the cream and gently simmer for another 2 to 5 minutes.
• Once the sauce has simmered, add the gnocchi (drain out the cold water)and cook for 2 minutes.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan (Parmesan will give you saltiness).
