LEMONY SWEET POTATO GNOCCHI

Ingredients

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 250 g flour, plus extra for dusting

• 1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated

• flaky salt and ground black pepper, to taste

• olive oil, to drizzle

• 4 small spring onions, finely chopped

• 1 red chilli, roughly chopped

• 2 to 3 Tbsp Italian parsley, roughly chopped

• 125 ml creme fraiche

• 1.5 kg sweet potatoes, cooked & mashed

• 3 Tbsp lemon juice

Cooking Instructions

1. Make sure the potato is well mashed. For a softer, textured gnocchi, press the mash through a sieve or ricer.

2. While the potato is still warm, mix in the egg, flour, nutmeg and seasoning to make a soft, warm dough.

3. Cover with a tea towel. Break off pieces and roll into small balls. Flatten with your thumb and place on a floured baking tray.

4. Cook in batches in salted boiling water, until they rise to the surface.

To make the sauce:

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the remaining ingredients. To serve:

Gently fold the gnocchi into the sauce and eat it straight away.
