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…...

Chicken, Bacon and Cheese Pasta Bake

Gluten free Pasta is a bit odd and you really need to forget everything you knew about Pasta because it will not ‘Hold’ and it certainly doesn’t stand recooking. But this worked really well. This was the second meal from the discounted Chicken which cost £2.38.

Ingredients:-

3 Rashers of Bacon, finely chopped
½ a Cooked Chicken, cubed
60g of Grated Italian style Cheese
100g of Grated Cheddar Cheese
3 Tbsp Mayo
½ Tsp of Hot Sauce
1 Tsp of Dry Mustard Powder
½ Tsp of Ground Black Pepper
½ Tsp Garlic Powder
½ Tsp of Onion Powder
½ Tsp of Paprika
1 Onion, finely sliced
3 Mushrooms, finely sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
Macaroni (Gluten free of us)
100ml of Greek Yogurt
100ml of Milk
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onions, Bacon and Garlic in a little oil until the Onions have softened.
(2) Add the Mushrooms, then the Chicken and cook until the Chicken is thoroughly heated.
(3) In a separate pan add the Milk, Yoghurt and Mayo. Heat until it simmers and then add the other ingredients except the Macaroni and Cheese.
(4) Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
(5) Cook the Pasta and drain. Add to an oven proof casserole.
(6) Add the Onion and Bacon mixture to the sauce and stir in.
(7) Pour over the Macaroni then add the grated Cheese and Italian style Cheese.
(8) Place under the grill until the Cheese has melted and browned slightly.

We served our with Corn on the Cob and a few home grown Peas.
