Restaurant at St. Paul's Cathedral: Wild Garlic Gnocchi Recipe

Chef's Notes:
Goes perfectly with our sauté wild mushrooms and cauliflower but will also taste great with most pasta type sauces.

Ingredients:
450g Heritage potatoes
125g Pasta flour
125g Grated Parmesan
2 Egg yolks
1 Whole egg
10g Salt
8g Chopped wild garlic

Procedure:
1) Bring the potatoes to the boil in salted water. Once cooked, drain and then cool. Peel while still slightly warm then pass through a ricer or mouli. DO NOT MASH.

2) Mix the flour, grated Parmesan, eggs, chopped wild garlic and salt into the potatoes, stop adding flour when the mixture is smooth and sticky (the moisture will vary depending on the potato variety you choose).

3) Roll the mixture into a long sausage shape about 1cm in diameter on a floured board and then cut into 2cm lengths. Using your thumb and the end of a fork, make a classic gnocchi shape and drop onto a plate as you make them.

4) Cook in salted water with a little oil floating on the surface. Cook around 25 at a time. Once cooked through, gnocchi will float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
