Gnocchi vegetarian – sweet dessert

Gnocchi italian food is based on potatoes but you can try all sort of flours. The recipe presented by Quick vegetarian recipe is very easy to cook. Sweet gnocchi are the best option for you dessert. Try this simple vegetarian recipe.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• potato
• plain flour
• sea salt

Directions:

Boil potatoes with their skins on in well salted water. When well
cooked drain, leave to cool slightly. Peel skins off & mash well, the finer the better, the potato will be dry & powdery. Add 1 part flour to 4 parts potato eg. 1000g potato needs 250g flour. Add salt if desired or herbs & spices. With hands mix well until a dough is formed. Transfer to a floured bench knead for a few minutes. Devide dough into workable portions. Roll into thin logs, approx. 1.5cm & chop along into 2cm pieces, put a fork mark on each put aside on floured tray. Boil a large pot of water drop gnocchi in, boil until
the gnocchi floats to the top count to 20 & take off the boil.

DO NOT OVERCOOK. Give a quick rinse under cold water serve immediately. My favourite is a pretty basic Napolitana sauce which is chopped garlic & onion sauted in olive oil basil, tomatoes, vegie stock & a few chopped sun dried tomatoes.
VERY IMPORTANT: A large part of the success of gnocchi is keeping the potatoes dry, that’s why their skins are kept on for boiling, a wet potato mixture will produce gluggy gnocchi.

Serves:4
