Reading @yotamottolenghi recipes @theguardian I came across a very familiar dish, Gnocchi alla romana, bringing childhood memories! So I was inspired by it and decided to create a gluten free version and also combine two traditional dishes in one, from two different cuisines, Italian (Gnocchi) and Turkish (Manti) and the result is heaven!!!!
Carrots, potatoes and Oats gluten free crispy gnocchi served with garlicky natural yogurt, finished off with sumac and smoked paprika flavoured butter!
🥰😊💙🍀
RECIPE – for 4 people 🙂
Gnocchi
1 potato (475g aprox)
1 medium carrot
120g of oats flour (homemade in a blender)
1 egg
Salt to taste
Yogurt Sauce
500ml for Natural yogurt (Greek style)
1 large garlic clove
Salt to taste
Flavoured Butter
2 Tbsp of organic salted butter
Half tsp of smoked paprika
Half tsp of Sumac
Crispy Gnocchi
Frying pan
2 Tbsp of olive oilp
METHOD
Peel and cut the potato and carrot. Add to a pan with boiling water and cook it until soft.
Transfer to a bowl and mash it up. Add the egg and and half of the oats flour, mixing well until it’s all combined. Add more flour until you can roll out the dough. It will be a bit sticky, but dont worry about it.
It will look like this when it’s ready to roll.
Now you can shape it like you please. I normally don’t like to spend much time, if it’s not necessary. So for me rolling it like mini balls (a bit bigger than a marble ball), was the fastest way. Then you press it down with your index finger to create craters which will hold the sauce you will add to it later on.
Now that you have all the gnocchi ready rolled, it’s time to prepare the yogurt sauce.
Transfer the yogurt to a container and grate the garlic, add a bit of salt and mix all together. Done!!! 🙂
It’s time to get a sauce pan with boiling water. Add the gnocchi and as soon as it comes to the surface, remove it from the water and place on a plate. If you don’t have a big sauce pan, you can cook the gnocchi in batches.
Crispy gnocchi!!!
Take a frying pan and add olive oil and the cooked gnocchi. Try no to keep turning it. Just leave until you see it’s golden brown, then turn and do the same on the other side. When it’s ready, I transferred to a serving dish and prepared the flavoured butter.
Add the butter on frying pan, medium heat until completely melted, then add the smoked paprika and sumac. Once it starts to form bubbles or a foam, turn off the heat. Now the flavoured butter is ready.
Add the yogurt sauce over or on the side of the gnocchi and last but not least add the delicious flavoured butter all over it!!! Heaven!!!
I hope you enjoy it!
Much love and gratitude!
