Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cauliflower florets
- 120 grams potato starch
- 75 grams cassava flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by steaming the cauliflower florets until they are very tender, about 10-12 minutes.
2. Once cooked, allow the cauliflower to cool slightly before transferring them to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much water as possible from the cauliflower; too much moisture will make the dough sticky.
3. Transfer the squeezed cauliflower to a food processor and blend until smooth.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the pureed cauliflower with potato starch, cassava flour, salt, olive oil, a pinch of nutmeg, and a pinch of black pepper.
5. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more cassava flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
6. Dust a clean surface with a bit of cassava flour, then divide the dough into 4 parts.
7. Roll each part into a long rope about ¾ inch thick. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
9. Once the gnocchi rise to the surface, let them cook for about 1 minute more then scoop them out with a slotted spoon.
10. Serve the gnocchi with your favorite dairy-free sauce or simply toss with olive oil and fresh herbs for a light meal.
