Method

Chicken Thighs:

3. When cooled, remove chicken and pull it apart, reheat liquid and strain it.

4. For service; in a small sauté pan, heat braising liquid and add chicken, broccoli rabe, chopped almonds and 2 T. of almond milk. Adjust seasoning and add fresh herbs (chopped parsley and the same herbs from the braise), add hot gnocchi and let it cook in the simmering mixture for 1 minute. Place in bowl and offer shaved Reggiano Parmesan cheese, tableside.

Almond Gnocchi:
1. Combine all ingredients and knead lightly into dough, let rest for 10 minutes.

2. Break off into ropes and slice into ½ inch pieces on a slight bias.

3. Roll on a gnocchi paddle and blanch in salted water until they float, remove from water with a skimmer and cool in a stainless steel pan with extra virgin olive oil.
