PLUMP PILLOWS
Boil a full kettle. Place a pot for the gnocchi over high heat. Fill with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and bring back up to the boil. Once boiling, cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes until they begin to float and are heated through. Drain and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
SPREAD HAP-PEA-NESS
Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump and heated through. Drain and set aside.
GOTTA GETTA VINAIGRETTE
In a small bowl, combine the diced onion (to taste), the vinegar, ½ the chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener of choice (to taste), and seasoning. Set aside.
POPPIN’ PUMPKIN SEEDS
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop and turning brown. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
CRISP ‘EM UP
Return the pan to a medium heat with a knob of butter. When starting to foam, add the cooked gnocchi and the rub and fry in a single layer for 2-4 minutes until browned and crisped, shifting occasionally.
WHAT LEFTOVERS?
Make a bed of rinsed green leaves. Scatter over the diced tomato, the biltong, the crispy gnocchi, and the plumped peas. Drizzle over the dressing and crumble over the drained feta. Sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds, and garnish with the remaining parsley. Enjoy, Chef!
