Wild Mushroom Gnocchi -

So you’ve been out and found a whole load of wild mushrooms, firstly you need to make sure they’re edible – have a quick intro guide here or you can look at our entire mushroom guide list here. If you’re still not sure why not join us on a guided foraging walk so we can help you?

This Wild Mushroom Gnocchi recipe is full flavoured, creamy and delicious. The best thing about this recipe is that you can add whatever wild mushrooms you find to flavour it. Wild mushrooms will add the most amazing, deep and flavoursome sauce to this recipe and the Gnocci will thicken it a little to an almost thick cream-like consistency. This dish will reflect the place you forage from and ingredients you can pick easily. Think chopped Chanterelle, Ceps/porcini, a sprig of mugwort or yarrow and whatever wild greens you can find.
