Gnocchi

Method

Gnocchi Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and mash them until smooth in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Mix the Dough

    Add the all-purpose flour, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, egg yolk, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. 4

    Shape the Gnocchi

    On a floured surface, divide the dough into sections and roll each section into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces and shape them with a fork.

  5. 5

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Preserved Lemon Butter Preparation

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.

  2. 7

    Add Preserved Lemon and Parsley

    Once the butter is melted, add the finely chopped preserved lemon and chopped parsley. Stir to combine and keep warm.

Caper-Onion Tapenade Preparation

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix the rinsed capers, finely chopped red onion, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, place the cooked gnocchi. Drizzle with the preserved lemon butter and top with the caper-onion tapenade. Serve immediately.
