Рецепт CBroc's Recipe Review
Potatoes. Truly one of the best-loved vegetables. Even with French fries out of the question, those of us who eat and enjoy a variety of vegetables, potatoes rank in the top for fan favorite. We find it comforting to know we can, without a doubt, go to the tuber for something simple, healthy, and always delicious. The versatility of the potato allows you to do a lot of anything, easily. :) You've got the basic approaches, adding them to soups or stews, salads, or serving them as a popular side dishes. Then there is the not so traditional prep of the potato, like the recipe I've got here. I was flipping through my Cooking Light Magazine and found this unique and SUPER simple and quick recipe. Add in the fact that it is wholesome and healthy, made for an even better plus! So, here is my recipe review using the popular potato in an way that may be uncommon to you- Gnocchi. Gnocchi is typically a small Italian potato dumpling. This hearty alternative to pasta can take up to an hour or more when making from scratch. Premade, vaccum-packed or frozen dumplings are just as wholesome, and adds to the ease of prep for this simple recipe.
