Comment on Recipe – Slow Cooked Steak and Kidney (or mushrooms or onions) by Raelene

Thank you for the recipe Jennifer. Back in the days when I ate pasta, gnocchi was my favourite. I usually recommend avoiding most grains these days, but I would be interested in finding out the composition of the Lauke flour. I admit, an occasional dish of gnocchi would go down a treat!!

Thanks again!

Thanks for the recipe!

If you feel like trying this (hopefully it will work for you too), I make g.f. gnocchi (potato dumplings) fairly often. Lauke g.f. flour seems to work best (plain of course). Make mashed potato without milk or cream (a tablespoon of olive oil or butter is good, but you don’t want liquid in there) and put it in a bowl, then using a fork, push the potato across until it takes up half the bowl. Then add flour to the other half to about equal volume. Add 1 egg and a little salt, then mix. After kneading (it won’t be as kneadable as wheat flour gnocchi so mixing with a fork in a bowl till it’s doughlike is good enough), pinch out sections and drop into boiling water or the stew pot.

If in water, cook 1 minute past beginning to float; if in stew pot, turn pot to high until the stew begins to bubble, and give it another minute or two; you can take gnocchi out and test them to see if they feel right.

A great addition to the gnocchi is chopped herbs; I find parsley a great green to add for vitamins and flavour.

I’m sorry if you can’t find Lauke flour; it’s worth experimenting first with different g.f. flours until you find one that produces good gnocchi before you try it in a stew.

Best of luck!

Fantastic tutorial! I’ll link to it on Facebook. We love to see what people do with our cultures

We prefer Filmjolk (mild) or Piima (cheesy) for our cultured butter.

Thank you for your query Alex. I will explain further the difference between working OUT and working IN. We often talk about an exercise session as a workOUT. This is where we EXPEND energy, eg get the heart-rate up, push heavy loads. This essentially is a form of stress on the body – which can be a good stress (provided the person is in a healthy state) and means we get stronger, fitter etc. However, we should balance workOUTS that cause energy depletion (and activate the sympathetic nervous system) with activities that build up energy – activities which activate our right brain and parasympathetic nervous system, and enhance energy levels in the body. For example, meditation, stretching, tai chi, yoga, any creative activity or one that involves deep breathing and no “thinking” will do this. CHEK practitioners often refer to these practices as “working IN”. For a person who is experiencing stress, anxiety, any stage of adrenal depletion or even someone who is always busy busy busy, or someone who worksOUT regularly, working IN becomes even more important.

??? ????????……

To balance our workOUTS – we also need to sometimes workIN. Ta-ke-ti-na is a process that is a form of meditation and can be transformational…..

Glad you like it Alexis, I think it’s a real winner. You really should try some fresh tumeric when it is back in season. The All Organic Farm have it in stock around summer, as does the All Organic Shop in North Hobart. I’m sure lots of other grocers have it too. If you like this you will probably like the Pork with Lemongrass & Coriander, and the Tomato, Lentil and Coriander Soup.
