Servings
4
  • 1 cup bulk andouille sausage, finely chopped
  • 1 cup julienned onions
  • 2 tbsp minced shallots
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 0.3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 0.8 cup olive oil, plus 2 tsp
  • 2 large baked potatoes
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.8 cup fresh goat cheese
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, plus 3 tbsp
  • 2 cup milk
  • 4 cup cleaned, stemmed fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a hot sauté pan, render the andouille for 2 minutes. Add onions and sauté until caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Add shallots and garlic; sauté 1 minute more.

  2. 2

    Remove from heat and add balsamic vinegar. Whisk in olive oil to make the warm dressing. Season with salt and pepper.

    Scrape the baked potatoes from their skins into a bowl. Mash until smooth. Mix in egg, goat cheese, and flour. Season with salt and white pepper.

  4. 4

    Shape the potato mixture into small gnocchi. In a pot, bring milk and water to a boil; poach the gnocchi for 3 to 4 minutes until they float.

  5. 5

    Toss the spinach in the warm dressing until just wilted. Arrange on plates.

  6. 6

    Place the warm goat cheese gnocchi over the spinach salad and top with the andouille-onion mixture.
