Where to find ingredients
Rice, eggs, fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, chives), wheat flour, salt, vegetable oil, and other pantry staples can be found at most supermarkets and local grocery stores.
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 dough to a saucepan
- Gradually add the wheat flour, mixing
- Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the dough pulls away completely 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 approximately 2 cm long
- In a large pot, boil plenty of water with salt and about 4 tablespoons of oil
- Add the gnocchi to the boiling water a few at a time, so they don't stick
- 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
