Ingredients

Gnocchi

  • 4 yellow/black plantains peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • splash milk

Sauce

  • 1/3 pound minced pork sholder
  • 2 large carrots diced small
  • 1/2 an onion minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 habanero minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream

Instructions

  • saute the plantains with some oil until tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool, then mash in a bowl.
  • Stir in the flour and egg. Add a splash of milk if it feels too tight.
  • Roll the dough out using plenty of flour to prevent sticking. Roll until you have a 1 inch wide rope. Use a fork or butter knife to cut the gnocchi into little pillows.
  • Roll each gnocchi in your palms to form a ball.
  • bring water to a boil as you start the sauce.
  • Saute the pork for 10 minutes in a splash of oil. More fat will render from the pork.
  • Add in the carrot and onion and cook about 8 minutes.
  • at this point, add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook about 5-7 minutes until cooked through
  • Add the garlic, parsley and habanero to the pan with the pork and veggies. Cook 2 minutes stirring often. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the gnocchi from the boiling water into the pan and stir to coat.
  • Add the milk or cream to the pan and stir to combine. Simmer for 3 minutes to tighten up the sauce. Serve
