Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 large yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 package 16 oz potato gnocchi, uncooked
  • 1 1/2 cups Gruyère cheese shredded
  • Parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter.
  2. Once the butter melts, add the onions and cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until deeply caramelized.
  3. Add the red wine and cook until it evaporates.
  4. Stir in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Reduce heat to low and add the gnocchi. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  7. Sprinkle Gruyère over the top.
  8. Broil 2 to 3 minutes, until melted and lightly browned.
  9. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Use a broiler-safe skillet.
The onions are the key flavor step, so let them get deeply golden.
Add a splash of broth when reheating if the skillet seems too thick.
