  • As you already know, I love Joshua, his videos are hilarious and I loved this video as well!
    In my opinion the gnocchi were a bit too big, I make them smaller, but that's a personal choice, so it's okay!
    Joshua showed us different ways to serve gnocchi... the one I loved the most was the Bechamel sauce with cheese that I absolutely need to recreate 🤩 BUT the biggest disappointment was the pan-fried gnocchi... It honestly doesn't make sense to me! I love gnocchi with butter and sage but I like them soft and fluffy, not "burned" and crispy!

    We have those too in Poland. In my region of Silesia it's quite the popular choice for dinner to have Kluski, Rolada & Modra Kapusta. The recipe for Kluski is exactly the same - mashed potatoes, eggs, flour. Only we shape them in a different way. They're round with a small dimple in the middle (almost donut shaped) to hold onto sauce, like a miniature bowl. The other 2 dishes that I mentioned being Rolada - beef roll with bacon, fried onion, mustard, polish brine pickles, and Modra Kapusta - fried red cabbage, with onions, grated apple and squeezed lemon juice. We top it all off with gravy made from the leftover juices from baking the beef rolls. It's pretty delicious.

      @@uniqueflowsnake Here's my own recipe for "Rolada"
      Ingredients:-
      650 - 700 g of beef (shoulder or haunch)
      - 100 g of smoked bacon
      - 120 g of polish brine pickles (around 2 middle sized cucumbers)
      - 50 g of your favorite sausage
      - 1 onion diced (and optionally sauteed)
      - Dijon mustard
      - Lard + clarified butter
      - a couple of allspice grains
      - 2 Bay leaves
      - 1 - 2 cups of water (or broth for more flavor)
      - wheat flour
      1.Peel the onion, dice it finely, dice the baceon into 1 cm cubes (cut off the bacon skin and save it for later), chop the cucumbers into sticks and sausage into small pieces. At this point you can sautee the onions but it's not necessary.
      2. Cut the beef ino 6 equal pieces (preferably lengthwise) and tenderize the crap out of it, until they turn into thin long sheets of meat. Place all the ingredients nearby, salt and pepper the meat, put 1 teaspon of mustard on each sheet and spread it evenly, and begin placing the ingredients (pickles, bacon, onion) while reserving some space from each side.
      3. Roll the meat sheets tighltly and bind with butcher's twine or skewers, so they hold in one piece, without any of the fillings sticking out. Heat up a pan (preferably a big cast iron skillet) with lard and clarified butter (you can use the leftover bacon skins, while heating it up to release some fat onto the pan). Coat the beef rolls in flour and throw onto a very hot (180 degrees celsius +) pan. Brown the meat on each side.
      4. Pour in a cup of water/broth, add bay leaves and allspice, set the heat to medium (you want to keep up the temperature consistently at around 90 degrees celsius) and cover for 1,5 - 2 hours. Turn the meat every 15 - 20 minutes so each side is evenly cooked and pour in additional water / broth if you see that it has reduced too much.
      5. Remove the beef rolls from the pan and use the remaining juices to make a gravy. If the remaining juices have thickened too much use some water to dilute them, or if they are too thin, use some flour to thicken it.

      ​@@uniqueflowsnake My go to recipe for "Modro Kapusta"
      Ingredients:
      - 1 little Red Cabbage Head - up to 1 kg
      - 1 average onion
      - 3 tablespoons of butter
      - juice from 1 lemon- 1 glass of water (250 ml)
      - 2 apples (preferably a more tart variety)
      - spices: 1 flat teaspoon of pepper, sugar and salt
      1. Peel the onion and dice it finely, sautee on a pan with butter for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a pot.
      2. Remove the first cabbage leaves and throw out the cabbage core. Chop it in half and dice each half finely. Transfer the cabbage into the pot with fried onion, pour in the water and stew on middle heat for 25 - 30 minutes.
      3. In the meantime peel the apples and grate them. When you see that the cabbage starts to become soft mid-stewing put in the grated apples and spices.
      4. Lastly put in freshly squeezed lemon juice, stir and serve while hot (not that you can't eat it cold, just that it's better this way). Optionally you can add some fried, diced bacon in there.

    I was always taught that the boiling water should be as salty as the Mediterranean Sea when cooking pasta. I steam my potatoes as that process results in less water in the mash - what do you think, Vincenzo?
    But bechamel?? Noooo, seriously, what??
    Lightly frying the gnocchi in butter is ABSOLUTELY delicious. 😊 But, again, I'm Maltese, not Italian. Mi dispiace, Vincenzo.

    I don't always toast my gnocchi in the pan, but when I do, I roasted a chicken in it first. Chicken, butter, sharlottes, salt, pepper and rosemary, that is.
    Srsly though, it's pretty good. Toasting gnocchis isn't actually new, though. I got it from my father. Then again, germans pan fry everything.

    I also think there is no point in adding water to a pesto. In my opinion, the best pesto is quite concentrated, it's an explosion of flavour, but if you want it to be a little bit more liquid just add more extra virgin olive oil instead of water.

      I would assume after rehydrating the instant potatoes and then following the recipe would work. But when I’m going to that trouble to make gnocchi, I’ll spend the extra couple bucks for real potatoes. It freezes surprisingly well uncooked, so making a big batch is worth it for me.

    Vincenzo, when you complain about the fried Gnocchi you are actually making fun about a traditional Bavarian dish without knowing it. That's not what good neighbours do, right? haha :) We call them Bankerl in Bavarian, for an Italian I would propably write it Banccal so you would have any idea how to pronounce it ;)
    Frying is how we've always made it here, we make little sausages out of the doe and fry those in lots of Butter until they are really really crispy on the outside, but the shape is the only difference, the doe is 100% the same as Gnocchi. It's a dish that you absolutely have to eat fresh, once they are cold they are not so great anymore. And we don't eat them in any sauce, more as a side to a salad or some meat maybe. I am almost sure you could also find that dish even in Südtirol in some families, so technicaly you would not even need to leave italy. :D
