Pan Roasted Gnocchi with Nori

Servings: 4 Cooking time: 50 minutes

Gnocchi are Italian dumplings traditionally composed of flour, egg, salt and potato. In Italy they are typically served as a first course (primi piatto) as an alternative to soups or pasta. Elsewhere it has taken on the role of the main course, and although it’s not considered traditional, ingredients can be swapped out according to taste, for example sweet potato instead of its regular counterpart, or rice flour for a gluten-free option. Another non-traditional-yet-delicious way to use gnocchi is to replace regular dumplings in a meat stew. In this recipe we’ve combined the soft, chewy gnocchi with crispy fried nori. The variety in texture is important in this dish; the gnocchi is so uniformly textured that it can become cloying if you don’t have something to break it up. Luckily, the seaweed provides the perfect counterbalance, as well as flavour and nutrition to boot.
