Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Boil a half-full kettle
- Pull out a large frying pan, a medium non stick frying pan, a measuring jug & a sieve
Prep the veg
- Thinly slice the brown onion. Cut the leek into 1cm thick rounds. Drain the sweetcorn. Thinly slice the spring onions. Finely chop or crush the garlic
- Dissolve the cornflour in the jug with 50ml cold water (25ml for 1 person), then top up with 50ml hot water (25ml for 1 person)
- Add the leek rounds to one side of the lined baking tray and add the sweetcorn to the other side of the tray. Drizzle everything with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 18-20 mins, until golden
Sizzle time
- Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the brown onion and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
- Add the garlic and cook for a further 1 min, then stir in the cornflour mixture, cashew cream and nutritional yeast. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4-5 mins, until thickened. Season to taste
Garnish time
- Meanwhile, heat the medium non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the spring onion and dukkah and toast for 2-3 mins, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and set aside
- Wipe out and reheat the medium non-stick frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the gnocchi and cook for 4-5 mins, tossing regularly, until golden brown. Season with salt
Final touches
- Rinse the spinach. Remove the roasted veg from the oven. Stir the sweetcorn, spinach and gnocchi into the creamy sauce. Cook for a further min, until the spinach is wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper
- Once roasted, coat the leek rounds in the chilli paste (use less for less heat) and maple syrup. Return to the oven for a final 1-2 mins
Plate up
- Share the sweetcorn gnocchi between bowls and top with the leek rounds. Garnish with the dukkah mix
