Parisian Gnocchi

Gnocchi!
Recipe originally from Serious Eats

Ingredients:
1 cup (8 ounces) water
8 tablespoons (1 stick, 4 ounces) unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon (about .15 ounces) salt
1 1/4 cups (6.25 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (I omitted this, due to lack of mustard)
1/2 cup (about 1 ounce) grated Parmesan cheese
3 large eggs
4 tbsp finely chopped chives
1 tbsp finely chopped basil
Olive oil

1. Bring water, butter and salt to a boil. Then dump the flour in, stir briskly until a sticky dough forms.

2. Transfer to stand mixer, add cheese, eggs (one at a time) then herbs.

3. Transfer to gallon bag, let rest for 15-25 minutes. Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer.

4. Cut the gallon bag with a 1/2 in opening, then pipe logs of dough onto a tray. Cut them up into 1in pieces.

5. Boil in batches, about 3 minutes after they float to the top

6. Drain then scoop onto an olive olive-oil greased tray. Toss, so they don’t stick.

7. FRY IN BUTTER (or cool and fridge)

After volunteering at Lazy Bear last week, one of the folks there sent us home with containers of Parisian gnocchi. (Thanks Jared!)

I’d never heard of Parisian gnocchi before, but essentially its choux piped into boiling water, then pan fried in butter to serve. I fried them up for dinner and nom nom nom — delicious. Crisp outsides and soft chewy insides.

One day I’ll attempt to make these, including the dough. If only I could regularly pick these up from Lazy Bear. hah.
