Where to find ingredients
Rice, eggs, parsley, cilantro, chives, all-purpose flour, salt, and vegetable oil are commonly found in most supermarkets. For specialty herbs or specific types of rice, check the produce section or international aisles of larger supermarkets, or visit Latin or Asian markets.
Preparation method
- Cook the rice in salted water until very soft
- Drain any excess water
- In a blender, process the cooked rice with the egg, parsley, cilantro, and chives until you get a homogeneous mixture
- Transfer the mixture to a saucepan
- Gradually add the wheat flour, mixing
- Place the saucepan over low heat, cooking the dough while stirring constantly, until it completely detaches from the bottom of the pan, forming a ball
- Season with salt to taste
- Remove the dough from the pan and let it cool slightly
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a log about 2 cm in diameter
- Cut the gnocchi into pieces of approximately 2 cm
- In a large pot, boil plenty of salted water with about 4 tablespoons of oil
- Add the gnocchi to the boiling water, a few at a time, to prevent sticking
- Remove the gnocchi from the water as soon as they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked
- Drain the cooked gnocchi and, if desired, finish by sautéing them in a pan with the remaining vegetable oil or serve directly with your favorite sauce
