  • 1 onion(s), approx. 120 g
  • 150 g leek, cleaned or frozen
  • 200 ml meat broth
  • 120 g herb cream cheese
  • 150 g smoked pork, e.g. as minute steaks
  • 300 g gnocchi, from the refrigerated counter
  • Himalayan salt
  • Pepper, white, freshly ground
  • chili flakes
  • 2 pinches of lovage, ground
  • Butter or margarine

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Peel and dice the onion, cut the leek into rings, and cut the smoked pork into 1 cm cubes. Melt the butter or margarine in a pan, add the diced onion, and fry until golden brown. Add the leek to the onions and fry for about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili and pepper, then add the meat stock and lovage. Simmer gently for another 5 minutes. Stir in the herb cream cheese until melted, then add the gnocchi and smoked pork cubes. Cover and stir once or twice. After 5 minutes, the gnocchi are ready and piping hot. Season the delicate gnocchi pan to taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, perhaps with a little Himalayan salt. If you don’t like the sauce too thick, you can add more meat stock.
