Thanks to Hachette Australia, I’ve got an extract of the Sweet Potato Gnocchi for Jess Just Reads.
Beautiful
800 g sweet potato (about 3–4 medium-sized sweet potatoes)Unstoppable
1 egg yolk (or vegan egg
substitute)
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan (or nutritional yeast flakes)
(optional)
2 cups gluten-free flour (e.g. brown rice flour or coconut flour)Fearless
cracked black pepper, to serve1.
Peel the sweet potato, chop into chunks and cook until soft. You can choose how you want to cook it: roasting and steaming both work well. Once cooked, mash the sweet potato until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and leave to cool for 15–20 minutes.2.
Combine the cooled sweet potato mash with the egg yolk and Parmesan, then gradually sift in the flour until you get a non-sticky dough mixture. (You might find that you use less than 2 cups, which is totally fine!)3.
Dust your kitchen bench with a little flour and transfer the dough to the bench. Knead for a few minutes, then divide the mixture into four equal portions and roll each portion into a sausage shape (you want it to be around 3 cm thick). Slice each sausage into 3 cm pieces.4.
To cook your gnocchi, add to a pan of boiling water. When it floats to the top, it’s ready! Top with your favourite sauce, and vegetables on the side, season with black pepper and serve.BUFF GIRL TIP: SAUCE IDEAS INCLUDE FRESH PESTO (SEE RECIPE PAGE 247), HEARTY BOLOGNESE WITH ZUCCHINI PASTA (MINUS THE SPIRALISED ZUCCHINI – SEE RECIPE PAGE 194) AND ARRABBIATA SAUCE.
