Black Truffle Gnocchi in Thermomix
I have been wanting to cook with fresh truffle for some time but had yet to actually see them for sale somewhere. Finding them in a store is harder than you think. On a recent trip to Germany I saw a gentleman buying one from the mushroom stand at the local market. They were from France and Italy. I bought a black one and was told to keep it in a breathable container or bag and it should last about a week. The day after I returned home I decided to make my go to gnocchi and a simple butter truffle sauce. YUM!
Ingredients for Gnocchi
1000g floury potatoes ( I used russet)
550g-650g white flour
pinch of salt
3 eggs
Steam peeled potatoes in simmering basket or Varoma, 25-30 minutes and cool. Place potatoes and mash 10 sec/speed4, scrape down and REPEAT
Add 300g flour, salt, eggs and KNEAD 30-40 seconds
Place flour and knead by hand. Using more flour as you go. Try and keep it sticky as the more flour you incorporate the harder they will be. I like mine softer.
Roll into long logs that are slightly sticky and cut into 3/4 inch size pieces.
Roll onto fork or gnocchi board and set aside
Boil in salted water about 1-2 minutes until they float.
Drain and serve with your favourite sauce or in my case, shaved Black Truffle.
I was also told that as truffle season continues the prices start rising as the flavours get more intense as the season goes.
