Home Made Semolina Gnocchi

Posted 2017-01-03 by finy ⇒ follow

Gnocchi is usually made from potatoes, however this is an alternative way to make it, and they are far nicer than the bought ones.

I made them a bit big as could not find something smaller to cut out the round shape!

I served them as an accompaniment to my lychee chicken with Hoisin sauce, and dipped them in that gravy - delicious.

However you could also make a sauce such as [link http://recipeyum.com.au/gnocchi-with-bacon-pumpkin-and-parmesan/ this one] or this [link http://recipeyum.com.au/potato-gnocchi-with-homemade-walnut-spinach-pesto/ sauce].

Preparation Time: 30 minutes plus cooling time
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves: about 30 pieces

Ingredients
500 ml milk
125 g semolina (I always have FINE in the pantry)
50 g butter
Bit of nutmeg
75 g Parmesan cheese
1 large egg yolk

Method

Bring the milk to the boil, and then slowly add the semolina, making sure to stir.

Continue stirring, as it could get lumps if you don't, adding the butter, nutmeg and a bit of pepper.

After a few minutes it will thicken, and keep stirring until it is so thick that a spoon will stand up in it!

Take off the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes and then add the egg yolk and half the Parmesan, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Put some baking paper, or grease a metal ovenproof tray, and spread the mixture on to this making it as even as possible. Make it about a cm thick.

Let it cool down for about 15 minutes, and then preheat the oven to 180°/160° fan forced.

Cut it into the size that you want - I used a biscuit cutter.

Put them on the greased or paper lined tray and add the rest of the Parmesan and a bit more melted butter (optional) to the tops of each.

Bake till they get a slight golden crust - about 10 minutes.

Serve alone with a salad, or another meal.

Served with my Lychee chicken

They look quite impressive as a side dish and taste great on their own.
