0.42 cup (100 ml) White wine

1 tbs Dill weed (fresh or dried)

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Gnocchi

Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

2

Make the Gnocchi Dough

In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. If too sticky, add more flour as needed.

3

Shape the Gnocchi

On a floured surface, roll the dough into logs about 1 inch in diameter. Cut into 1-inch pieces and shape with a fork for ridges. Place on a floured tray.

4

Prepare the Sauce

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the seaweed and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and simmer until reduced by half.

5

Add Cream and Crab

Stir in the heavy cream, crab meat, and dill weed. Cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6

Cook the Gnocchi

Bring a 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.

7

Combine and Bake

In a baking dish, combine the cooked gnocchi with the sauce and smoked salmon, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes or until golden.

8

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional dill if desired.
