  1. GO, GO GNOCCHI

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1-2 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of the gnocchi water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. PREP

    Roughly chop the chorizo. Peel & finely dice ½ the onion. Peel and grate the garlic. Rinse and pick the thyme.

  3. CHECK THE CHORIZO

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chopped chorizo until crispy, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

  4. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SAUCE

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic and the picked thyme, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add 20g of butter and the flour. Fry, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Simmer until thickening, 2-3 minutes.

  5. FINAL TOUCHES & FLAVOURS

    Add ½ the grated cheese, ½ the lemon juice, and seasoning to the sauce. Stir through the cooked gnocchi and ½ the fried chorizo. Loosen the sauce with the reserved gnocchi water if it’s too thick. Remove from the heat.

  6. DRESSING

    In a small bowl, combine the chilli flakes with the remaining lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil.

  7. DISH UP DINNER

    Plate up the creamy chorizo gnocchi and drizzle over the chilli dressing (to taste). Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and the crispy chorizo. Finish off with a crack of black pepper. Cheers, Chef!
