kumera & english spinach gnocchi Ayshim, 5 February 20135 March 2024 Kumera & English Spinach Gnocchi is an incredibly time-consuming recipe from Harvest Vegetarian Cookbook but it’s worth the effort. It’s also my husband’s favourite Harvest dish. The recipe below yields quite a bit of gnocchi made out of kumera (sweet potato) but don’t fret because gnocchi freezes well. Just lightly dust them with flour and freeze them in a bag. If you don’t have time or energy to make your own gnocchi, you could buy ready-made gnocchi from chiller section of your supermarket and just bake it with Lemon and Garlic Cream Sauce.

Drain. When cool, peel and return to pan to dry off well. Mash until smooth.• Boil kumara until just cooked. (Do not cook with potatoes as each has a different cooking time.) Drain and mash.• Combine potato and kumara mash, salt, pepper to taste, lemon thyme leaves, chopped spinach and basil or oregano. Add flour to thicken and mix thoroughly.• Wash and oil your hands and roll a teaspoon of gnocchi mix into a ball. Place on a tray and continue until all the mix is rolled. You will need to wash and oil your hands as you go.• Roll each ball in the seasoned flour and roll in clean, floured hands for up to two minutes each, to help develop the gluten and allows the gnocchi balls to maintain their shape when cooking. Place balls on a clean tray and continue until all the gnocchi is rolled and ready to cook.• Drop 6-8 balls at a time into a saucepan of lightly salted boiling water. They rise to the top when cooked. Remove and place in sauce. (Or, prior to placing in sauce, you can keep in refrigerator for two days or freeze for later use.)• To make the Lemon and Garlic Cream Sauce: Combine cream, garlic and lemon juice in a saucepan bring all ingredients to the boil then simmer until thick. Stir frequently. Place gnocchi in sauce and stir to coat.• Transfer into an ovenproof serving dish and cover with grated parmesan then grill until golden. what i'm cooking vegetarianvegetarian gnocchi
