Sweet potato gnocchi w/ garlic and sage sauce & coriander pesto instructions
- Turn your oven on preheat for 200°C. Wash and stab the sweet potatoes with fork or knife..
- Place the potatoes on hot oven tray and let it cook for 20-25 mins (turning at 10-12 mins)..
- Once the potatoes are cooked, de-skin them and mash them until they are very fine (I usually press them through sieve for the best texture)..
- Add parmesan, egg yolk, nutmeg and pinch of salt. Mix these together. Add your flour in intervals while you continue mashing and turning it into a dough (add water in intervals). The dough should be soft..
- Once your dough is done set it aside while you get the sauce ready..
- In a small saucepan, add butter and chopped garlic along with your chicken stock. Add around a cup of water and sage leaves. Let this simmer on low heat until it goes half in quantity and is of a thick liquid consistency. (DON'T ADD SALT AS THERE IS ENOUGH SALT IN THE STOCK CUBE ITSELF)..
- In a blender, add coriander bunch, 2 cloves of garlic, pine nuts and a pinch of salt. Add olive oil in intervals. Blend it all together..
- In a small separate pan, use some of the oil that comes off from the coriander pesto and add the breadcrumbs to the pan. Cook these till crispy..
- Back to the dough... divide your dough in 4 (cling film and keep 3 parts in the fridge for another use and use 1 for gnocchi)..
