Equipment

  • 1 fry pan
  • 1 Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Stainless Steel Roaster Pan
  • 1 Hand Blender
  • 1 Stainless Steel Measuring Cups
  • 1 Stainless Steel Magnetic Measuring Spoon Set Dual Sided
  • 1 Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 Carrot sauce
  • 1 Onion sauce
  • ½ Sage chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves sauce
  • 1 cup Spinach sauce
  • 4 tbsp Tapioca flour sauce
  • ½ tsp Salt sauce
  • ¼ tsp Pepper omit for AIP
  • ½ cup Coconut Milk can sauce
  • ½ cup Water sauce
  • 3 tbsp Arrowroot flour sauce
  • 1 tsp Salt Gnocchi
  • cups Cassava flour Gnocchi
  • 2 large Sweet Potato Gnocchi

Instructions

Sauce

  • Make sure you cook the sweet potato in the oven first as that takes the longest, look below at the Gnocchi instructions.
  • Cut up the onion and place in a frying pan on medium heat with a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes then chop up the garlic and add to the pan.
  • Cut up the carrot first into whatever size you like, I cut mine up as small as possible as the bigger you cut them the longer it will take to cook. Add to the pan.
  • Now add the coconut milk and water then heat on a medium heat until it starts to boil then turn down to a low heat.
  • Cook for about 10 minutes on low heat until the carrots have softened.
  • Cut up the sage and spinach and add to the frying pan.
  • Now you can add the arrowroot flour and tapioca flour which will thicken the sauce. As soon as the sauce thickens enough take off the heat, it should be less than a minute.

Gnocchi

  • Cut up the sweet potato but leave the skin on, they can be larger pieces, cook in the oven for 1 hour at 160°C/320°F.
  • You can steam the potato's if you are in a rush but you will probably need more cassava flour as they will pick up more moisture.
  • Take the skin off the sweet potato, just use a spoon to scrape out the soft part from the skin.
  • Mash the sweet potato until smooth, or blend the sweet potato with a hand blender.
  • Add 1 cup of the cassava flour to the sweet potato and mix.
  • Keep adding 2 tbsp of cassava flour to the mixture and mix until it forms a dough and you can combine into a ball without it being too sticky
  • Spilt into 3 balls then roll into logs and cut into 1cm pieces.
  • Boil the water with 1tsp of salt, then cook in small batches until they float to the top.
