Where to find ingredients
Rice, eggs, parsley, cilantro, chives, wheat flour, salt, vegetable oil, and water are commonly available at most supermarkets in the grain, dairy, produce, and baking aisles. Specialty Brazilian or Latin American markets may offer a wider variety of fresh herbs.
Preparation method
- Cook the rice in salted water until very soft
- Drain excess water, if any
- In a blender, blend the cooked rice with the egg, parsley, cilantro, and chopped chives until a homogeneous mixture is obtained
- Transfer the mixture to a saucepan
- Gradually add the wheat flour, mixing
- Place the saucepan over low heat, cooking the mixture while stirring constantly until it completely pulls away from the bottom of the pan, forming a ball
- Season with salt to taste
- Remove the mixture from the pan and let it cool slightly
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a roulade about 2 cm in diameter
- Cut the gnocchi into pieces approximately 2 cm long
- 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 skillet with the remaining vegetable oil or serve directly with your favorite sauce
