Ingredients

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, finely chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 3–4 T Italian parsley chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 T olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 x 800 g Italian whole peeled tomatoes in tomato juice cans
  • 625 ml chicken stock
  • 500 g Woolworths readymade potato gnocchi
  • 300 g Woolworths readymade beef frikkadels
  • Italian parsley, chopped, for sprinkling
  • Shaved Parmesan, for serving

Method

1. Gently soften the vegetables, parsley and garlic in the olive oil. Season to taste. Add the tomatoes and mash roughly. Simmer fairly briskly for 5 to 10 minutes.

2. Add 2 cups chicken stock. Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Blend and check the seasoning. Add the remaining stock and bring to a simmer.

3. Add the gnocchi, stirring with a large fork to separate the dumplings. Simmer for a few minutes until the dumplings rise to the surface. Add the frikkadels and heat through. Serve sprinkled with parsley and pass around the Parmesan at the table.

Cook’s note: Use vegetable stock and falafel for a vegetarian option.
