COOK THE GNOCCHI
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 2-3 minutes. Drain and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
TOAST THE SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan (large enough to toast the gnocchi) over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CARAMELISE THE MINCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally).
RICH RAGÙ
Add the diced Onions to the pot and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes, (shifting occasionally). Add the NOMU rub and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in the wine and cook until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Stir in the tomato passata and 150ml of water. Simmer until thickening and reduced, 8-10 minutes. In the final 3-4 minutes, add the rinsed beans and cook until warmed through. Add a sweetener and seasoning. Remove from the heat.
TOAST THE GNOCCHI
Place a pan over medium heat with a knob of butter. When starting to foam, fry the cooked gnocchi in a single layer until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side.
DRESS THE LEAVES
In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves with a drizzle of olive oil and season.
TIME TO DINE
Make a bed of the toasted gnocchi, top with the delicious ragù, and sprinkle over the grated hard cheese. Serve alongside the dressed leaves, scatter over the toasted seeds, and drizzle the balsamic reduction over the ragù. Garnish with the picked oregano. Indulge, Chef!
