How To Make sweet potato gnocchi, onion soubise mushrooms peas

  • Step 1
    To make the soubise. Add the butter to a saucepan. Add the onions and let them cook for about 20 minutes. Don't let them brown. Keep the heat low.
  • Step 2
    Add the heavy cream and simmer 10 more minutes. Taste and add salt and white pepper.
  • Step 3
    Place the sauce in a food processor and process until smooth. Press through a fine mesh strainer, pushing the solids with a spoon, and discard the solids. Set aside.
  • Step 4
    Gnocchi Add the potatoes to a pan of cold water that is seasoned well with salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are soft when pierced with a fork.
  • Step 5
    Pass through a ricer and set aside to cool.
  • Step 6
    Once cool enough to handle, add the flour, egg, and Parmesan.
  • Step 7
    Dust your kneading space with more flour and knead the gnocchi until it is no longer sticky and it holds together.
  • Step 8
    Roll the dough out into ropes and cut into gnocchi size of your choice. I like larger gnocchi. Place the gnocchi on a floured sheet and set aside.
  • Step 9
    Sauce Add butter to a saucepan and add the shallots, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Step 10
    Add the wine and bring to a boil, and reduce by half.
  • Step 11
    Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil again, and let it reduce by half.
  • Step 12
    While this is reducing, start the mushrooms. Add the butter and then the shallots, garlic, and mushrooms in a large saucepan and cook until the mushrooms have given up their moisture. Add the frozen peas and simmer 2 minutes. If it gets dry, add a little olive oil.
  • Step 13
    Once the sauce is reduced, add the onion soubise, raisins, and taste for salt and white pepper.
  • Step 14
    Pour the sauce over the mushroom mixture and set it over low heat.
  • Step 15
    Next to the mushroom sauce, place a large pot of water and bring it to a boil. Add a bunch of salt and cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the top of the water.
  • Step 16
    Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the mushroom sauce mixture. Repeat until all the gnocchi is cooked.
  • Step 17
    Plate the gnocchi dish and top with parsley, chives, toasted almonds, and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy.
