METHOD
-
To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic, nutritional yeast, Italian herbs and chilli flakes and cook for 30–60 seconds or until fragrant.
-
Add the vegetable stock, coconut cream, diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until thickened.
-
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the top. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the gnocchi to the sauce and gently stir to coat.
-
Divide the gnocchi and sauce among bowls. If you like, top with coconut yoghurt, basil leaves and chilli flakes.
TIP:
You can swap out the gnocchi for any pasta of your choice, including gluten-free pasta.

‘Fish doesn’t have to be boring—my mother taught me that. Samkeh harra translates to “spicy fish,” though it’s more about a gentle kick than true heat. It’s a perfect balance of creamy, nutty tahini and the crunch of golden, roasted nuts. Oh, I do love nuts! I usually overload my plate so you almost can’t see the fish anymore, but that’s me. The nuts bring a deep, toasty richness that elevates the dish into something truly irresistible.’

Think of this as exactly what Nando’s wishes it was: vibrant spicy chicken with crispy skin served with crunchy fries and a spicy dipping sauce. Piri piri chillies aren’t widely available in Australia, unless you grow them yourself, but bird’s-eye chillies are easy to find and they do the trick.
I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
Not quite a red curry, not quite a satay, this dish is the best of both worlds, inspired by Thai flavours and it is divine. It’s a throw-and-go recipe and I know we all love those at BOL. Perfect served with creamy coconut rice, some sliced red chilli and flatbreads.
