1 cup beef stock

Gnocchi

¼ cup butter

1 cup mozzarella

1-2 eggs, whisked

1 cup almond flour

METHOD

1.  Heat a frying pan and melt coconut oil and fry onions and garlic until cooked. Add lamb strips and brown on all sides.

2.  Add chopped tomatoes, stock, herbs and seasoning and simmer for 60-90 minutes.

3.  Combine the butter and mozzarella and melt in the microwave, making sure it is combined.

4.  Stir in the egg and almond flour. Don’t add both eggs yet, check the consistency of dough. If too stiff to work with, add more egg. Mix well until a dough is formed.

5.  Knead the dough on a smooth surface until it is semi-stretchy. Form the dough into a long roll and cut into bite size pieces.

6.  Freeze gnocchi for 10-15 min to firm up. Heat frying pan and fry gnocchi for about 3-4 mins, on medium heat.

7.  When meat is soft remove from heat. Serve meat with gnocchi, garnish with fresh basil and parmesan.
