Best Meyer Lemon Gnocchi Recipes

MEYER LEMON GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes in a medium sauce pan and bring them to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over medium heat, until potatoes are tender (about 8 minutes). Drain potatoes and return them to the pan- shaking over medium heat until dry.
• Use a large rimmed baking sheet and rice the hot potatoes in an even layer.
• In a small bowl whisk the egg yolks, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon olive oil and the salt and pour over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the potatoes and stir GENTLY until a dough forms (be careful not to overwork the dough!).
• Carefully roll the dough into four 1/2 inch thick ropes. Using a sharp knife, cut each rope into 1/2 inch pieces. Using a fork, roll each piece along the tines to make ridges in the gnocchi.
• Transfer the gnocchi to the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Bring the chicken broth to a simmer in a small sauce pan. Remove from the heat and whisk in the 1 stick of butter- a few pieces at a time- until the sauce is creamy. (Warm the sauce on low heat if necessary). Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt.
• Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of boiling salted water- until they rise to the surface, then cook them for 1 minute longer.
• Gently drain the gnocchi, toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and transfer to a baking sheet until cool.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add half the gnocchi and cook in a single layer over high heat until golden brown- about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and gnocchi.
• Reheat the sauce and pour it over the gnocchi and fold gently with a rubber spatula. Garnish with the chives.
• Enjoy!

ROASTED GNOCCHI & BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH MEYER LEMON VINAIGRETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450degrees F. Place chicken in a medium saucepan, add water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and gently simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and shred with 2 forks. Transfer to a large bowl. Meanwhile, place squash cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish and add 2 tablespoons water. Microwave, uncovered, on High until the flesh is tender, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, place squash halves cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in a 400°F oven until the squash is tender, 40 to 50 minutes.) Use a fork to scrape the squash from the shells into the large bowl. Place the shells on a broiler-safe pan. Stir 1 cup enchilada sauce, zucchini, ½ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt into the squash and chicken. Divide the mixture between the shells; top with the remaining ¼ cup enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake on the lower rack for 10 minutes. Move to the upper rack, turn the broiler to high and broil, watching carefully, until the cheese starts to brown, about 2 minutes. To serve, cut each shell in half.

MEYER LEMON GNOCCHI

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately high heat until the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pan; shake over moderately high heat until dry. 2. Working over a large rimmed baking sheet, rice the hot potatoes in an even layer. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the salt and pour over the potatoes. Sprinkle the flour over the potatoes and stir gently just until a dough forms. 3. Gently roll the dough into four 1/2-inch-thick ropes. Using a sharp knife, cut each rope into 1/2-inch pieces. Roll each piece against the tines of a fork to make ridges. Transfer the gnocchi to the baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. 4. In a small saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Remove from the heat and whisk in the 1 stick of butter, a few pieces at a time, until the sauce is creamy. Warm the sauce on low heat if necessary. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt. 5. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi until they rise to the surface, then cook them for 1 minute longer. Gently drain the gnocchi, toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and transfer to a baking sheet until cool. 6. In a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add half of the gnocchi and cook in a single layer over high heat until browned on the bottom, 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and gnocchi. 7. Reheat the sauce; pour it over the gnocchi and fold gently with a rubber spatula until they are evenly coated. Transfer to a platter and garnish with the chives. Grate the bottarga on top, if desired. Serve.
