so with half a butternut pumpkin in the fridge, i thought i'd give pumpkin gnocchi a go. at least its meant to be softer and fluffier than their potato counterpart?! well so i thought...
having looked up a few recipes on the net and from my collection, i had my first ever attempt *and sadly, possibly the last...* on gnocchi. yes already sounding so defeated. so here's the result...
looking quite normal actually, but i've added so much more flour than the recipe suggests. but the dough kept sticking onto my hands, and was i suppose to knead it?!
-butternut pumpkin gnocchi with herbed butter + parmesan-
-spiced yoghurt lamb chop-
the gnocchi is nowhere near light and fluffy...
the positive tho is the brussel sprouts dish. nice and... christmas-y?!
-braised brussel sprouts in orange butter-
simply caramelise off some bacon, add the sprouts and a handful of currants, season. then zest and juice of an orange, close the lid and let it cook its merry way. round it up with a knob of butter, and its done! somehow the flavours remind me of a xmas glazed ham!! a must for xmas!!
