Sweet Plantain Pan Fried Gnocchi

Crispy on the outside and, soft and pillowy on the inside, this unique sweet and savory plantain gnocchi served with homemade brown butter garlic sauce will be the best meal you'll ever make!

Cover peeled plantains with water and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

Boil the plantains.

1

Melt butter over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Once the butter turns an amber color, remove from the heat and stir in 2 tsp of water and the garlic. Cool slightly.

Make the butter sauce.

2

Mash plaintains. Stir in ricotta, salt + pepper. Slowly add in flour until a dough forms.  If the dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl, add more flour, 1 tbsp at a time.

Make the dough.

3

Cut dough into gnocchi shapes and boil them until they float, roughly 2-3 minutes. Once they float to the top, drain them (do not rinse). Set aside.
