I’m always thinking of dishes to get more greens down the fam, so when @discovergrratveg kindly sent me some of their gorge produce I knew what was going on the menu 💚 🌱
My gang love gnocchi and as it was almost freezing in the peaks, this went down super well. The kale, caramelised onion and goats cheese really add some pizazz✨. You could always blitz the kale and stir through the sauce as a sneaky way to get it down the kids if they won’t eat it whole 😝
Serves 4-6 (extras for lunch 😎)
Ingredients:
100g kale
500g lean beef mince
1 large brown onion, peeled & finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled & crushed
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 carton of chopped tomatoes with herbs
2 dollops of caramelised onion chutney
1 glass of red wine
1 beef stock pot
200ml water
Roll of goats cheese
Parmesan for sprinkling
Salt and pepper
Method:
Pop the kale in a colander in the sink and pour a kettle full of boiling water over. Leave to drain, cool and squeeze out the water. Set aside.
Sauté the onion in a little olive oil on a low-medium heat for about 5 mins till golden. Add the balsamic and bubble. Add the mince and brown. Add the garlic and stir. Add the tomatoes, purée, stock pot, red wine, chutney, water and season. Simmer on low for 10 minutes. You want quite a loose-ish sauce. Add a little more water if reduced too much.
Add one bag of gnocchi into a oven proof dish. Top with the kale, then the sauce, then the second bag of gnocchi. Crumble the goats cheese over and add a grating of Parmesan. Bake for 20-25 mins till golden and bubbling.
