Potato Gnocchi filled with Mixed Mushrooms with a Butter, Sage and Balsamic Sauce Ingredients For the gnocchi: 250g/9oz potatoes 150g/5oz plain flour 30g/1oz corn flour 3 egg, yolks only salt rice flour for rolling out For the filling: 90ml/6 tbsp olive oil ½ a red onion, chopped very finely 1 garlic clove, chopped very finely 150g/5oz mixed mushrooms (button, shitake, ceps, girolle), chopped very finely salt and pepper 1 rosemary branch, chopped very finely handful of parsley, chopped very finely For the sauce:55g/2oz butter handful sage leaves 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese drizzle of balsamic vinegar Directions 1. First place the unpeeled potatoes in a pan of slightly salted water, bring to the boil and cook until the potatoes are tender. Keep the potatoes whole - if they are cut, they absorb water. If you prefer, you can bake the potatoes in the oven. 2. Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sweat the onion and garlic. Then add the mushrooms and stir-fry for a minute. Season with salt and pepper, add the herbs and cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Set aside and leave to cool. 3. To make the gnocchi, once the potatoes are cooked, drain and leave to cool. When cool, peel and discard the skin and mash the potatoes.4. Place the mashed potato in a large bowl together with the flour and corn flour. Add the eggs and salt and mix well until you get a smooth, but slightly sticky dough.5. Place on a floured worktop and with a rolling pin roll out to a thin sheet. With a 6cm/2½in pastry cutter, cut out approximately 20 rounds. Place 1 tsp of the filling in the centre of half the round shapes. Place the empty ones over the top and with your fingers press down the edges. 6. Bring a large saucepan of slightly salted water to the boil, then drop in the gnocchi. When they come up to the surface, cook for a further 2 minutes (remember these are filled gnocchi and much thicker than normal gnocchi, so they need a little longer to cook through). 7. Meanwhile, in a pan melt the butter, add the sage and gnocchi, then mix in the parmesan cheese. Mix well together. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar over the top and serve.
