Goat Cheese Gnocchi And Warm Spinach Salad
Ingredients
1 cup Finely-chopped bulk Andouille sausage

1 cup Julienned onions

2 tbsp Minced shallots

1 tbsp Minced garlic

1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar

3/4 cup Olive oil, plus

2 tsp Olive oil

Salt, to taste

Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

2 large Baked potatoes

1 tsp Salt

Freshly-ground white pepper, to taste

1 large Egg

3/4 cup Goat's cheese

1/2 cup Flour, plus

3 tbsp Flour

2 cup Milk

1 cup Water

4 cup Cleaned, stemmed fresh spinach

Preparation
In a hot saute pan, render the andouille for 2 minutes. Add the onions. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes, or until caramelized. Add the shallots and garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Turn into a mixing bowl and whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Scrape the potatoes from their skin into the bowl. With a hand potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, white pepper, egg, Goat's cheese, and 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons of the flour. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup flour on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Turn the dough onto the floured surface and roll the dough out in a log, about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece across the tines of fork. In a large saucepan, combine the milk, water, 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt and pepper. Bring the liquid just to a boil. Add the gnocchi and poach for 5 minutes. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and drain. Turn the gnocchi in a mixing bowl and toss with the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. In a large mixing bowl, toss the spinach, onions and vinaigrette together. Season with salt and pepper. Place the greens in the center of the plate. Arrange 1/4 of the gnocchi around each salad. Garnish with black pepper. This recipe yields 4 servings.
