Vegan Fried Gnocchi with Sausage and Broccoli
A quick, nutritious and adaptable supper dish
Ingredients
- 500 g Gnocchi - shop bought
- 300 g Sausages - vegan (6 sausages), cut into chunks
- 200 g Broccoli
- 3 Tomatoes - chopped into eighths
- 3 cloves Garlic - peeled
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- Fresh parsley - to sprinkle
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pan of water to a boil and simmer the gnocchi for about 3 minutes or until they bob to the surface. Remove to drain using a slotted spoon, but retaining the water in the pan.
- Add the broccoli to the pan of gnocchi water and cook until just tender. Chop into large chunks. Set to one side.
- Meanwhile, gently heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the cloves of garlic whole. They will gently fragrance the oil.
- After 5 minutes, add the chopped sausage to the garlic oil. Turn up the heat and fry until the sausage is browned and toasty. Remove the sausage from the pan using a slotted spoon.
- Add the gnocchi to garlic oil and fry until it turns golden brown and crisp.
- Add the chopped tomato and broccoli and seasoning.
- Cook for a couple of minutes until the tomato has softened.
- Now add the sausage back to the pan and add a splash or two of hot water to the dish. This will help bring all the flavours together.
- Taste for seasoning and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Serve sprinkled with a little chopped parsley.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
