Ingredients

Cauliflower parsnip gnocchi 

  • 250 g (9 oz.) parsnip
  • 250 g (9 oz.) cauliflower 
  • 500 g (1lbs 1.6 oz.) floury potatoes 
  • 400 g (3 cups) flour or maybe some more
  • 50 g (1/3 cup) durum wheat flour
  • 2 tsp salt 
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • pepper

Paprika-Balsamico-Gemüse

  • 3-4 red & yellow bell pepper
  • 3 shallots
  • 1 tbsp raw cane sugar
  • 1-2 garlic cloves 
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4-5 leaves of sage
  • 1 tsp salt
  • pepper
  • 3-4 tbsp dark balsamic vinegar 

Instructions

  • Peel the parsnip and cut them in pieces, cut cauliflower into roses 
  • Boil both in salt water or in a steam cooker until well done and soft (approx. 10-15 minutes)
  • Cook the potatoes in salt water until they are soft, peel them while still hot and press them into a bowl using a potato press 
  • Add the soft parsnip and cauli flower and mash them using a fork
  • Add flour and mix everything well – best done by hand 
  • Add durum wheat flour and spices – depending on the consistency you may need some more flour 
  • The dough should have a good grip – keep it refrigerated for 30 minutes 
  • Bring some slightly salted water to boil, reduce the heat 
  • Place the dough on a floured surface, cut off pieces, roll them into snakes and then cut off the individual gnocchi and roll them a bit 
  • Add them to the water in the pot – make sure the water doesn’t boil (bubble)
  • The gnocchi are done when they swim on the surface. Take them out with a skimmer and let the water rinse off
  • Serve them this way or fry them in oil or vegan butter until crispy 

Pepper balsamic vegetables

  • Cut the shallots into stripes 
  • Remove the bell pepper cores and cut them in stripes as well 
  • Roast the shallots in oil, add sugar and let them caramelize for a little while. Now add the bell pepper stripes and the finely chopped or pressed garlic
  • Roast everything for approx. 5 – 7 minutes while stirring 
  • Cut the sage leaves in fine stripes and add them to the pan along with the spices 
  • Deglaze with balsamic vinegar and continue to fry for 5 minutes
  • Serve with the gnocchi
