This Festive season requires deluxe comfort food.
I am having an Orange Duck Confit as I main dish and I am not keen on having plain potatoes or pasta on the side. So why not mixing both (in a way..)? Gnocchi would do it perfectly so I can
I am having gnocchi as a side dish so I am making them ahead of time and putting them uncooked in the freezer until the D day!
Check out this simple recipe for a yummy homemade dish from scratch:

Ingredients:
6 serving
700g Potatoes
500g Flour
1 Garlic clove
1 Egg
pinch of Salt
1 tsp Nutmeg

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the potato in boiled water with garlic and thyme for 30 minutes until tender but still firm.
2. Drain the potatoes then peel them and mash them with a potato masher.
3. whisk the egg with a pinch of salt and nutmeg before combining with mashed potato,
4. Add the flour in 3 batches. Knead until dough forms a ball. Shape small portions of the dough into long “snakes” on a floured surface then cut into pieces and use the back of the fork to mark the gnocchi.
>> At this stage you can freeze the gnocchi (without cooking them) for your next meal.
5. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 minutes until gnocchi have risen to the top.

Bon Appetite.
