Tomato gnocchi with chorizo sauce
February 17th, 2019 | main dishes
Tomato gnocchi get their colour from a few tablespoons of tomato paste and their wonderfully fluffy consistency from ricotta. The strong chorizo sauce goes perfectly with the gentle sweetness of the gnocchi. Crispy sage leaves are the aromatic icing on the cake.
So far, I only knew gnocchi on a potato basis. When I saw this recipe, I tried it directly. Unfortunately, the quantities in the recipe were not correct, but after some trial and error, I now have the perfect “instructions” for tomato gnocchi with ricotta and durum wheat semolina. And I have to say: they are just delicious. Much lighter and finer than potato gnocchi.
Unfortunately, the photo and reality did not match in that recipe. The chorizo sauce – blended to a fine foam – was white as snow. How that is possible with a paprika salami, I do not know. Too bad that there are so many cookbooks and magazines that show beautiful photos, but unfortunately their recipes often do not work.
I hope you get along better with my recipes. Write me if you have any questions or something should not work. And of course you are also invited to write me, if you are satisfied.

We were there again.

Onion cake belongs to fall like falling leaves, mushrooms, fog and a bit of sentiment that summer is going on. This autumn, I changed my classic a bit and turned it into a tart. And what goes well with onions? Bacon, of course, and pears and blue cheese. A few walnuts on top – and the beautiful autumn soul warmer is ready.

We ate the best Bolo de Caco on the village square in Monte above Funchal on Madeira island. The atmosphere there was special. It was lunch time, we were – away from the hustle and bustle of basket sled tours and cableway – alone in the square, apart from some mangy dogs hanging around and taking sometimes a sluggish effort to chase a pigeon. And there we discovered BOLO DE CACO.
