PARISIAN GNOCCHI (CHEF JACQUES PéPIN)



Parisian Gnocchi (Chef Jacques Pépin) image

These are Parisian-style gnocchi, very different than the traditional Italian potato version and actually easier to prepare. The dough is quickly boiled then baked with cheese, producing airy mouthfuls with a slight crust. To blend in the eggs, use a standing mixer with paddle attachment. Gnocchi dough can be refrigerated overnight before boiling and baking. Recipe is from Food & Wine Magazine. For a more savoury version, add chopped fresh herbs - chervil, chives, parsley and tarragon...

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1/4 cup gruyere or 1/4 cup asiago cheese
2 tablespoons gruyere or 2 tablespoons asiago cheese

Steps:

  • In small saucepan, combine water, salt and nutmeg with 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to boil over high heat. Add flour all at once and beat dough with wooden spoon until thick and comes away from sides of pan. Cook, stirring to dry out dough, about 30 seconds. Transfer dough to medium bowl. Cool 5 minutes.
  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Set bowl of ice water near stove.
  • Beat 1 egg into dough until incorporated. Beat in 1/4 cup cheese and another egg until blended. Beat in last egg until dough is smooth and shiny. With spatula, transfer dough to large resealable plastic bag, pressing it into one corner. Cut tip off bag to create opening 1/2-inch long.
  • Reduce boiling water to gentle simmer. Hold bag over water with one hand and squeeze out dough, using small sharp knife to cut it into 1-1/2-inch lengths; let drop into water. Simmer gnocchi 3 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to ice water. Transfer to paper towels and pat dry.
  • Grease 13- by 9-inch baking dish with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Scatter gnocchi in dish; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese. Bake in preheated 350F oven until puffed, about 25 minutes. Preheat broiler. Broil gnocchi 6 inches from heat until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
  • Makes 4 servings.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around looking for things while you're cooking.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, local, and organic ingredients.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in soggy, undercooked food.
  • Use the Right Cooking Method: There are many different ways to cook food. Make sure you choose the right cooking method for the dish you're making. For example, delicate fish should be cooked over low heat, while a steak should be cooked over high heat.
  • Season Your Food: Don't be afraid to season your food! Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Don't Overcook Your Food: Overcooked food is dry, tough, and flavorless. Cook your food until it is just done, then remove it from the heat.
