A new version of the classic gnocchi recipe? You just need to add a bit of hemp, which together with rice or corn flour helps us to prepare a gluten free and healthy dish. Here the recipe of Leonid Pantani, the chef of Hemp Kitchen in Melbourne.


Ingredients for gnocchi

1 kg of boiled potatoes

200 grams of corn or rice flour

25 grams of hemp seeds

a pinch of baking soda

Ingredients for pesto

200 grams of basil leaves

100 grams of black cabbage

a clove of garlic

100 grams of hemp oil

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

1 tablespoon of hemp protein (powder)

salt and pepper

ice cubes

Process for the preparation of gnocchi

Boil the potatoes and peel them when they are cooked. Crush them with a potato mash when they are still hot and when they are cold add the flour, 25 grams of hemp seeds and the baking soda. Mix everything and form small rolls with the mixture, which will then be cut into small pieces of one or two centimeters. Put the gnocchi to cook in boiling water and, unlike the traditional ones, when they come to the surface wait for another 2/3 minutes before removing them because the rice or corn flour requires a slightly longer cooking time.

Pesto preparation procedure

All the ingredients for the pesto are put together in a blender and chopped. The pesto must be added cold to the steaming gnocchi.
