Gnocchi Ingredients

Oxtail Ragu Ingredients

Method

Making the Gnocchi

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Drain, peel, and mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes and cut into small pieces. Press each piece with a fork to create ridges.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Making the Oxtail Ragu

  1. 5

    Sear the Oxtail

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the oxtail pieces until browned on all sides.

  2. 6

    Add Ingredients

    Add roasted garlic, sherry, and beef broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 7

    Slow Cook

    Cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until the oxtail is tender and falling off the bone.

  4. 8

    Finish the Ragu

    Remove the oxtail, shred the meat, and return it to the pot. Stir in parsley, chives, and season with salt and pepper.

Combining and Serving

  1. 9

    Combine Gnocchi and Ragu

    In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked gnocchi with the oxtail ragu. Toss gently to coat.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
