- 400g gnocchi
- 1 red onion
- 200g Kalettes®
- 50g three cornered leeks
- A handful of thyme
- 1 lemon
- 20cl soya cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Deep frying pan or wok
- 1.
Place a deep frying pan or wok on a medium-high heat. Add ½ tbsp olive oil and the gnocchi. Fry for 4-5 mins, stirring often, till the gnocchi are browned all over.
- 2.
While the gnocchi fry, trim, peel, and slice the red onion. When the gnocchi have browned, scoop them out of the pan and set aside on a plate or in a bowl. Add another ½ tbsp olive oil to the pan and add the onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry, stirring often, for 5-6 mins till the onion has softened, but not browned too much. Turn the heat down and add 1-2 tbsp water if you think it's browning too quickly.
- 3.
While the onion fries, trim the dry, woody bases off the Kalettes®. Rinse them well under cold water. Finely chop the three-cornered leeks and set aside a pinch for garnishing.
- 4.
Add the Kalettes® and three-cornered leeks to the onion. Drop in the thyme sprigs. Fry, stirring often, for 5-6 mins till the Kalettes® have softened but still have plenty of bite to them. While the Kalettes® and three-cornered leeks fry, finely grate the zest from the lemon.
- 5.
Pick the thyme sprigs out of the pan and discard them. Return the gnocchi to the pan. Pour in the soya cream. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins till the cream has warmed through.
- 6.
Stir most of the lemon zest into the pan. Squeeze in a little lemon juice. Taste and add a pinch more salt, pepper or lemon juice if you think it needs it. Spoon the gnocchi and creamed Kalettes® into 2 warm bowls and serve with the remaining lemon, sliced into wedges for squeezing.
