Gnocco Fritto



Last year I spent a few months in Europe. 
First half; was spent with Mum & Brother travelling around the North of Italy, visiting family and eating plate after plate of delicious authentic Italian food.

To name a few;

Zia Rita’s Trofetti con pesto… fresh pesto only!
& Minestra brodo con tortelini

Genovese Focaccia
Speciale


 Mezzo Kilo, Nutella & Kinder, QC Gelato

Marti’s Pomodoro


I regret not taking more photo’s of the food I ate!

So one night at Marti’s, we walk in to find her dropping dough like squares into a shallow pan of oil.
Intrigued, we sat back and watched as each square bubbled and browned into a yummy soft, yet crispy bread.

We ate a few plain ones on the side while the rest of the batch was cooking. Before we were treated to cheeses and cold meats which is used for stuffing the Gnocco Fritto. 
To create a kind of, Gnocco Pocket.

Sweet and simple.

Downside; I forgot to ask for the recipe.

Having been a year it slipped from my mind. Until my gorgeous little Nonna told us about the local Napolitana club who were hosting a gnocco fritto lunch event.

& of course… there was no question! We would be going!!


These are the pics from our luncheon, enjoy.
