Gnocchi with crispy chorizo and broccoli Recipe

Gnocchi with crispy chorizo and broccoli is a quick and easy week night meal that is packed with flavour. The combination of spicy chorizo, creamy crème fraiche and cheese is so luxurious, with the fresh crunch of broccoli to lighten things up. Chorizo is a coarse and spicy pork sausage that is popular in Spanish and Mexican cuisine. It can be bought either as a whole cooking chorizo or as a cured dried sausage, sometimes thinly sliced, which is ready to eat. For this recipe, make sure you get the softer variety, which is ready to crisp up and release it’s flavourful oils as it cooks. Cured chorizo, however, makes a delicious addition to a charcuterie board or antipasti platter. Gnocchi are Italian potato dumplings that have a soft, pillowy texture and are so quick and easy to cook. You can make your own gnocchi if you’re feeling adventurous, but most supermarkets stock pre-made varieties that do the job. Check the fresh pasta aisle to find them.
