Pan Fried Gnocchi And Kale Recipes

Steps:

• Finely chop the kale, removing the stem, wash it, and shake off as much water as you can. Set aside. Toast the walnuts. Chop coarsely and set aside. Heat 2 TB of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Add half the gnocchi in a single layer. Stir to coat with oil, then let them sit undisturbed to brown on one side, about 5 to 7 minutes, before turning to brown the other side, also about 5 to 7 minutes. The gnocchi should be golden and a bit crunchy on the outside. Remove to a plate. Then heat remaining 2 Tb oil and repeat procedure with other half of the gnocchi. Remove to plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the kale and salt to the skillet and cook for less than a minute, just long enough for the kale to lose a bit of its structure. Stir in the walnuts and garlic, wait 10 seconds, then stir in the nutmeg. Wait ten seconds and stir in the lemon juice and zest. Remove from heat and mound on plates, top with gnocchi, and serve dusted with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add lemon zest and gnocchi. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until gnocchi are heated through. To serve, drizzle with remaining 2 teaspoons oil.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large high-sided frying pan over a medium heat. Squeeze the sausages straight from their skins into the pan, then use the back of a wooden spoon to break the meat up. Sprinkle in the chilli flakes and fennel seeds, if using, then fry until the sausagemeat is crisp around the edges. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
• Tip the gnocchi into the pan, fry for a minute or so, then pour in the chicken stock. Once bubbling, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3 mins, then stir in the kale. Cook for 2 mins more or until the gnocchi is tender and the kale has wilted. Stir in the parmesan, then season with black pepper and scatter the crisp sausagemeat over the top.

Steps:

• Heat the broiler with a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• In a large (12-inch) skillet on the stovetop, heat enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan (about 1 tablespoon) over medium-high. Add half the gnocchi to the pan, breaking up any that are stuck together. Cover with a lid or baking sheet and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with the remaining gnocchi and olive oil.
• Add the butter to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring often, until golden-brown and toasty, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper, reducing the heat slightly if necessary to avoid scorching. Add the tomatoes and 3 tablespoons water and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and the liquid has slightly thickened, 4 to 6 minutes. Smash the tomatoes as they burst to help them along.
• Add the seared gnocchi and 1/4 cup basil (if using), stir to coat, then shake into an even layer. Top with the mozzarella and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. Top with more basil, red-pepper flakes and black pepper as desired.
