It is FINALLY cold.. okay well it is supposed to be be for 1 more day, and then right back up to the 70's. But anyway, it is cold at this exact moment, cold enough to finally turn on the heat! (I won that battle in the Wise household!) My husband keeps reminding me to use up the venison that we have in the freezer so we can make room for more. Yup, it's deer season in Alabama. So to help clean out the fridge, I created a recipe with ground venison. You do NOT have to use venison in this recipe. In fact, I used half venison half ground turkey.
If you have not had gnocchi, you have SO been missing out. It is SUPER delicious and is basically a potato pasta. How can something with those two words in the same sentence not be good? What's even better, they now have gluten free gnocchi. FINALLY!!! Okay enough of my rant for today, here is my gnocchi stew!
Gnocchi Stew
gluten free, dairy free
Ingredients:
2 T extra virgin olive oil
1 medium white onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T gluten free tomato paste
1 cup red wine (optional)
3 cups beef broth
1 can white beans
1 12 oz package gluten free gnocchi (I use Delallo)
juice of one lime
1 1/2 pound ground meet (I used half venison and half turkey)
helpful hint: if you are not using the wine, be sure to add in an additional cup of broth.
How to get to dinner time:
Finely Dice your onion.
Chop the cilantro.
Add olive oil into large Dutch oven.
Add in your onion and state until slightly translucent. About 5 Minutes.
Add in your minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add in your ground meat of choice.
Brown until no longer pink.
Add in your cup of wine if using, or a cup of beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to remove any brown bits that may be stuck to the pan.
Drain and rinse your white beans.
Add your beans to the pot and stir to combine.
Add in tomato paste and stir.
Add in 3 cups of beef broth and stir to combine.
Add in your cilantro, salt, and pepper and stir.
Bring to a boil and the reduce and simmer for about 45 minutes. You will continue to simmer the stew, but at this point its time to move on to the gnocchi.
After the stew has simmered for 45 minutes, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a separate pot.
Add in 1 t salt once boiling. Add in your pasta and stir.
Cover and return to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. At this time the gnocchi should float to the top of the water meaning it is done.
Drain the pasta and immediately add into your stew.
Cook for about 4 minutes and your stew is ready!!
Thanks Y'all!
