Ingredients
- 128 grams almond flour
- 14 grams coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 210 grams ricotta cheese
- 75 grams parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- kosher salt (freshly grated)
- 1 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 4 tablespoons grass-fed butter (freshly grated)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (freshly grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (freshly grated)
- 10 sage leaves
- black pepper (freshly grated)
- 140 grams greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic (freshly grated)
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar (freshly grated)
- kosher salt (freshly grated)
- black pepper (freshly grated)
- spinach (steamed)
- cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- For the keto ricotta gnocchiAdd almond flour, coconut flour and xanthan gum to a medium bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Set aside.Add ricotta and parmesan to a large bowl and mix with a spoon until well combined.
- Add in flour mixture and mix well.
- Season to taste with salt and mix in the egg.
- The dough should be sticky, but form into a ball easily.
- If it doesn't (different moisture levels in cheese etc), feel free to add in more almond flour a little at a time.
- Wrap in cling film (saran wrap) and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Remove dough from the fridge and form into rounds (roughly 1 inch big).
- The dough will be soft and still lightly sticky, but should form into rounds with ease.
- Place in a tray and press down with a fork to lightly flatten them.
- Freeze for 15 minutes before frying, and the gnocchi can be frozen at this point for up to two months.
- Heat up butter and oil in a skillet or pan over medium/low heat.
- Once warm, add in garlic slivers and sage leaves.
- When the garlic is just lightly golden, add in the chilled gnocchi flat-side down along some freshly ground black pepper.
- Move the pan around to keep them from sticking, basting them throughout the cooking.
- They will be fragile, so handle with care.
- When ready, the bottom will have formed a deep-golden crust (see pictures), about 4-5 minutes.
- Serve right away atop a bed of steamed spinach, yogurt sauce and a handful cherry tomatoes (optional).
