Ingredients

  • 500g potato gnocchi
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/3 cup toasted hazelnuts
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

1
First, boil the gnocchi in salted water until they float, then drain well and pat dry to ensure maximum crispiness.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and sear the gnocchi until golden brown on all sides.
3
Lower the heat and add the butter, swirling it until it foams and turns a nutty brown.
4
Immediately whisk in the miso paste and honey until emulsified into a glossy sauce.
5
Drop in the sage leaves, allowing them to crisp up in the butter, then toss in the toasted hazelnuts.
6
Finally, fold in the cooked gnocchi, coating them thoroughly in the umami-rich glaze.
7
Serve immediately on warmed plates, finished with a generous dusting of Parmesan cheese and a bright sprinkle of lemon zest.
