I enjoyed my latest Orchard at Tesco project – Love Food Hate Waste. I was more than happy to spend my coupons on wonky veg and fruit.
My
life mission is to save as much as I can on food and cooking. Did you know that
the average UK family wastes £60 of food a month, that is over £700 a year? I am
happy to use wonky veg and fruit because shape and size makes no difference in
taste. We cannot control how fruit and veg grows, so Tesco Perfectly Imperfect
is a range of fruit and veg that have grown a little wonky but are still
absolutely delicious.
Potatoes
come in all shapes and sizes. Save the wonky potatoes! Use my recipe to
transform wonky potatoes to a tasty gnocchi.
Ingredients
1kg
peeled potatoes
350g
self-raising flour (could be gluten free), plus extra for dusting
3
whole eggs
Pinch
of salt
100g
poppy seeds
50g granulated sugar
Preparation
Boil
peeled potatoes. Do not need to cut for pieces. They should be soft, but hold
together.
Mash
boiled potatoes.
Mix
all ingredients together with your hands. The dough should feel a little
sticky. If it is too runny add more flour. Be careful, do not add too much
flour, because your gnocchi will be chewy and undercooked.
Roll
the gnocchi dough gently on a lightly dusted surface. Cut the gnocchi to around
3-4 cm pieces. It takes a little longer time – switch on your radio.
Bring
a large pan of water to the boil. Tip the gnocchi into the water. When, after 5-6
minutes, they float to the top, scoop out using a slotted spoon or small sieve.
Grind
sugar a poppy seeds in a blender. Should have flour like consistency.
Season
gnocchi with a good amount of sweet poppy seeds.
