Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Spinach

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes

1 cup of the Creamiest Hummus recipe

Salt

1 1/2 -2 cups of oat flour

400g Frozen spinach

2 tbsp vegan pesto

4 dried apricots, roughly chopped

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp dry roasted salted peanuts

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Stab the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, then microwave it for around 10 minutes. (Read about microwaving here. ) When it's has cooled down, peel, add salt and mash it until completely smooth.

Make hummus, using only 3/4 to 1 cup for this recipe. Blend the hummus with sundried tomato in a blender.

In a large bowl, mix together sweet potato mash and 1 cup of Oatmeal. Knead until all flour absorbed. Add other half cup of oat flour and knead it. The dough should only be a little sticky and drier, so if it needs more flour, add more and knead it well. When consistency is right, form a ball. Cut it in to 4 equal pieces.

Using a board, roll each piece of the dough to form a 1-2 cm thick rod. Then slice the gnocchi to 1 cm length. Using the back of a fork press grooves into the gnocchi. Sprinkle gnocchi with oat flour to prevent them from sticking together. Cook them in salted boiling water for around 3 minutes, until they rise to the top. See below.

In a large pan or wok, defrost and warm the spinach. Mix in pesto, a bit of salt, lemon juice, and chopped dried apricot. Once the liquid is absorbed, add the gnocchi and stir-fry until they achieve a light golden hue. Top with a sprinkle of peanuts.

To serve, spread hummus on plates and place the gnocchi-spinach mixture on top with a spoon.
