Serves 2-4 people
Ingredients
sage leaves
Meredith Dairy Marinated Goat Cheese
50-80g butter
garlic confit
parmesan
650g baked sweet potato
350g plain flour
1 egg
1.5 tsp sea salt
Preparation
Step 1
Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, drizzle with olive oil and bake at 200 degrees celsius for 1 hour, or until completely soft in the centre. remove the skin and allow to cool completely.
Step 2
Mash the sweet potato and mix with the egg. add the flour and sea salt and combine into a dough. the mixture will be slightly sticky, so either continue working it on a floured bench before rolling it into logs and cutting into small pieces, or place the dough into a piping bag and snip directly into a large pot of salted boiling water
Step 3
Cook until the gnocchi float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Step 4
Heat the butter in a pan over low heat until browned and nutty. add the sage leaves and cook until crispy. season with salt and pepper, then toss through the cooked gnocchi.
Step 5
To serve, spread the meredith goat cheese onto a plate using the back of a spoon. top with the gnocchi, brown butter, crispy sage, garlic confit and grated parmesan.
