Ingredients

• 400 grams gnocchi
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 3 cups radicchio
• pinch of salt
• dash of ground black pepper
• 1 tbs vegan butter
• 1 tbs breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup pecan nuts
• 1 tbs parsley

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables: peel and finely chop onion and garlic. Wash and dry radicchio leaves, then chop into slices.
2. In a pan heat a tablespoon of oil or vegan butter and add breadcrumbs. Gently fry while stirring regularly, until the breadcrumbs turn crispy and golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. To the same pan add chopped pecan nuts and dry roast for a minute or two, until they warm up. Remove from pan and set aside.
4. Add bacon to the pan and fry until crispy, then remove from the pan and set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
5. Leave the bacon grease in the pan and add finely chopped onions. Stir-fry until translucent, then add finely chopped garlic and chopped radicchio.
6. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook gnocchi according to package instructions, about a minute or two. As soon as they float to the surface, remove them from the pot with a strainer and place them into the pan to the radicchio. Let the gnocchi fry for a minute until golden-brown, carefully stirring them to ensure an even roast. Add a spoon of vegan butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve with finely chopped parsley, roasted breadcrumbs and pecan nuts. Aditionally, you can sprinkle some grated parmesan (or dairy-free alternative) on top and add some raw sliced radicchio.

Notes

You can make this dish VEGAN by skipping the bacon, and use vegan alternatives to butter and parmesan.
