#210 The Case of Gnocchi Primavera

2 350-g-packages potato gnocchi (Longo's Potato Gnocchi are nice) or enough for 4 people
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup white wine
1 rounded teaspoon (for 1 cup) vegetable bouillon powder
2 zucchinis, chopped (about 2 cups)
2 green onions, chopped (or the equivalent of chopped chives)
1/3 cup Pine Nut Parmesan
salt
pepper

Add the potato gnocchi to a large pot of boiling water. Immediately set your timer for 2 min. As soon as gnocchi float to the surface, test one. They're probably already al dente—ready before the 2 min. are up.

In the meantime, bring the olive oil, white wine and vegetable bouillon powder to a boil in another large pot. Simmer and reduce by half.

When the gnocchi are al dente, drain them and add them to the reduction. Toss in the zucchini, green onions, Pine Nut Parmesan and salt to taste.

Plate and grind pepper on top.  

Serves 4.

PS This is fabulous with fresh peas to replace the zucchini!

Welcome Foodies!

Wonderful to meet  YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how. You're also invited to get to know me (Cynthia's favourite character) better by reading the mystery novels I'm in: A Purse to Die For and A Killer Necklace . Yours, Becki Green (Vegetarian Detective)

#110 The Case of Poutine

"Poutine is a typical Canadian dish (originally from Quebec ), made with French fries , topped with brown gravy and curd cheese ."—Wikipedia N utritionists worldwide may be screaming in horror that poutine has captured the world by storm but, proud Canadian that I am, I'm shouting, "Yippee!" To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products. Silly to write out a recipe. All you do is sprinkle French fries with cheese curds then pour brown gravy over top. Seriously...yum! ♥ Becki PS To leave me (and Cynthia) a message, click on the comment button below.
