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…...

Burger Pie

Did somebody mention Burger and Bean Pie? Natalie Chambers???? Nah - More like Bacon and Cheese burger Pie. Now you’re talking…

Just for fun…..

Ingredients:-

1kg Insanity, crushed into nutter sized globules
300g Beef mince (Discount isle green stuff at £1.38 in our case!)
250g Mature Cheddar, grated . (Make sure to grate a good lump of thumb as well)
Bacon
1 Terrapin
1 Satsuma
Chilli flakes
Garlic Salt
1 Grandmothers earring
A small brass bell
and a partridge in a pear tree
Gluten free puff Pastry

Method:-

(1) Place the Terrapin on the Satsuma, ring the small brass bell 7 times and sit with your eyes closed cross legged for 45 years.
(2) You’ve got really old and the mince went off a little over 44 years ago.
(3) Have a wash and shave.
(4) Start again – but without the Terrapin, Satsuma and blasted bell.
(5) Fry the bacon with the  Terrapin and set aside to drain.
(6) Mix the mince, Garlic Salt and Chilli flakes in a large bowl.
(7) Form into a large round burger sort of thing.
(8) Cut in half and stuff half of your grated cheese in the middle.
(9) Have a break, get drunk and fall asleep.
(10) Fry the burger on both sides.
(71) Have a pint of White Lightening.
(11) Boil the  Satsuma.
(12) Allow the burger to cool.
(13) Throw the  Satsuma away, is dead and they are really not good boiled.
(14) Get serious, I mean, really?
(15) Roll the pastry out.
(16) Place the Burger in the middle.
(17) Porn Grandmothers earring.
(18) Place the fried Bacon over the top.
(19) Cover with the remaining cheese.
(20) Wrap the pastry over everything, oil and sprinkle with wuzzed up Unicorn ( We found toasted Pumpkins seeds are a good alternative)
(21) Place in a preheated oven at 180c for 45 minutes.

We served ours with Chilli wedges, coleslaw and a bit of salad. No Satsumas, Unicorns or Terrapins were actually harmed in the creation of this dish…..
