Where to find ingredients
Find these pantry staples at local markets in Port Vila or Luganville. Use standard all-purpose wheat flour found in any dry goods aisle. As a substitute for fresh parsley, you may use dried herbs, though fresh provides a brighter finish.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes in the milk in a large saucepan.
- Stir in the mayonnaise, parsley, and salt.
- Place the mixture over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil and the mayonnaise has completely melted.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the all-purpose flour all at once.
- Mix vigorously to ensure the dough is smooth and free of any lumps.
- Return the dough to low heat and cook while stirring for one or two minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat and allow the dough to cool slightly until warm.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
- Roll the dough out into long, thin ropes using your hands.
- Cut the ropes into traditional gnocchi-sized pieces.
- Boil the pieces in a pot of salted water.
- Remove the gnocchi from the water as soon as they float to the surface.
- Drain well and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
