Chickpea Gnocchi
I don’t make Gnocchi very often, but homemade Gnocchi are delicious. Potato Gnocchi are most popular, but Sweet Potato, Pumpkin and other vegetables are often used. Have you ever tried Chickpeas? Using a can of Chickpeas, these Gnocchi are easy to make. The hardest part is blending the Chickpeas into paste. If you have a stick blender, it would be very easy.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Place drained Chickpeas and Egg in a bowl, and use a stick blender to make into paste. *Note: You may prefer using a food processor if you have one.
* Step 2
Add Plain Flour and Potato Starch (OR Corn Starch), and use a fork to mix and form a soft dough adding extra Flour as required. Today I added extra 1 tablespoon. *Note: Do not make the dough very firm.
* Step 3
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and divide the dough into some portions. Roll each portion into a log about 2cm in diameter, and cut into 1.5cm pieces.
* Step 4
Note: To shape the Gnocchi, today I rolled each piece into a ball, then gently pressed it down on a fork as rolled it. You can just roll over each ball using a fork.
* Step 5
Cook Gnocchi in a saucepan of boiling salted water, but DO NOT overcrowd as they can stick together. Cook until they rise to the surface. Enjoy with your favourite sauce.
