Instructions
For Gnocchi:
-
Rinse potatoes and add in a pot filled with cold water. Add salt. On medium heat bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook for about 30 minutes or until done.
-
Drain water and peel potatoes while they’re hot.
-
Rice though potato rice and form a well on your work surface.
-
Whisk the egg gently and add to the center. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and flour and start incorporating ingredients. Form a dough and work gently.
-
Form logs about one inch thick and using a knife cut into 1-inch pieces.
-
Using your index and middle finger roll to form a gnocchi shape.
-
Spread on a kitchen towel gently dusted with flour.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Gently add the gnocchi (I use a paper plate to gently drop them in water to avoid splattering).
-
When the gnocchi rises to the top they’re cooked. Using a skimmer remove and drain in a colander. Add more gnocchi to the water. Continue until all are cooked.
For Cleaning Artichoke:
-
Cut tip-off and remove darker leaves on the outside. Trim the stem.
-
Quarter the artichokes and place them in a cold water bath where the 1/2 lemon juice has been squeezed (this will prevent them from turning dark).
-
Pat dry in the paper towel when ready to cook.
For Cooking Artichoke:
