METHOD
Potato Gnocchi
COOK whole potatoes, until fork tender. Then drain them thoroughly.
ALLOW to steam for 5 minutes, peel potatoes and mash them with a potato masher, set aside to cool, then mix well with flour, potato starch, salt and nutmeg. The dough must be soft but not sticky.
ROLL the dough into thick rope rolls. Cut into 10mm little balls. Simply roll each ball over a fork to create one piece of gnocchi.
BRING a large pot of salt water to the boil. Then drop in the gnocchi and simmer until the gnocchi starts floating to the top. If they do, they are done.
REMOVE them with a slotted spoon and drain well. They will firm up a bit as they cool.
Sauce
ADD the onions to a pot and sauté in oil until softened, then add the garlic and thyme and fry until fragrant.
ADD the mushrooms and wine, reduce wine half way, then pour oat milk and season with salt and pepper. Cool down and add truffle oil.
Vegetables
Blanch long stem broccoli until tender and then grill broccoli in dry pan. Brown mushrooms should be peeled and roasted in the oven.
To heat for serving
HEAT a pan over medium heat, add some oil and pan fry gnocchi until golden brown, set aside.
HEAT the sauce.
Plating
PACK gnocchi on to the side of the serving bowl, place broccoli and mushrooms on top of the gnocchi. Pour the sauce onto the open space of the bowl.
GARNISH with micro-herbs and vegan cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil.
