Homemade Gnocchi With Caramelized Onion

• For the homemade gnocchi:

  • 500 g potatoes (for this recipe we used purple ones)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 handful of fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp salt

  For the caramelized onion:

  • 2 onions
  • 2 Tbsp agave syrup
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • To serve: fresh parsley and 200 g smoked tofu

• • To serve, add the tofu on top of the homemade gnocchi with caramelized onions and sprinkle some fresh parsley for a perfect finish!

• • Boil the potatoes in salty water (without the skin)
  • Start with the gnocchi: in a mixing bowl, add the boiled potatoes, the flour and a pinch of salt
  • Knead the dough well
  • Add the chopped fresh parsley into the dough and incorporate it nicely
  • Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece with your hands (see the technique in the video above)
  • Cut the rolled dough piece into small bits
  • Boil the gnocchi in salty water until they rise to the surface
  • In the meantime, heat up some olive oil in a pan and cook the onion until it starts to get a nice golden colour
  • Season with salt and pepper, then add the agave syrup
  • Mix well, then add the gnocchi in the pan, add some more fresh parsley and mix them good with the caramelized onion
  • For a perfect finish, cook 2 slices of smoked tofu in a pan until golden-brown
