Knock, knock…

Gnocchi ! (Pronounced “nyockey”) Try as I might, I find it hard to enjoy gnocchi – it’s that soggy, sticky texture that leaves me cold. However, recently I’ve come across a couple of recipes which looked quite appealing. So a trip to one of our bigger supermarkets meant I could investigate the range and found a brand which has to be fried, surprisingly, as well as the standard type which can be quickly boiled or roasted. “Rana” do various flavours as well as some with stuffing but I chose the plain ones so I could compare results. Frying “Rana” was disappointing as each little dumpling was very chewy and tough. Roasting the ordinary type was better but still not crispy even though I added olive oil with chopped peppers and onions. So my next experiment will be frying basic gnocchi with the addition of butter. Interesting but inconclusive so far. I’ll keep you posted – I’m hoping the results are worthy of a video 😉
