Servings: persons

1/2 scallion, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 small potato, unpeeled, scrubbed, and cut into small dice
About 2 handfuls fresh peas
About 2 cups chicken stock
1/2 leek heart, finely chopped
Butter
Fresh raisin pumpernickel (black) bread-a slice, crust removed, and minced
Nutmeg, freshly grated
Salt and black pepper
1 small egg, beaten well
A few whole peas
A tablespoon tomato, brunoised
A quenelle or a spoonful of a soft goat cheese, creamy young one
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil
A little chervil, freshly chopped

1
Brown the scallion in the butter. Add the potatoes and saute until they are light golden in color. Add the peas (save a few for garnish), then about a cup of the stock, and let it all simmer for about 15 minutes, until soft. Add more stock if necessary. It should be liquidy.
2
Meanwhile, for the gnocchetti, sweat the leek in butter. Stir in the bread and season with freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Place the mixture in a small bowl and mix in just enough beaten egg to make it slightly wet. Scoop out small quarter-size balls, place in the palm of your hand, and gently squeeze down till compressed to mold into
3
(baby gnocchi).
4
Make sure the peas and potatoes are soft and pour the mixture through a sieve, pressing the vegetables through with a rubber spatula. The pressing should yield about a cup or a cup and a half. Add a little more stock if the soup is too thick. Strain again if necessary and pour into a small saucepan. Drop in several gnocchetti, cover, and heat through at low heat for a few minutes until piping hot.
5
Pour carefully into a heated soup bowl, to keep those little babies intact. Garnish with the fresh peas, tomato, goat cheese, a drizzle of an excellent extra virgin olive oil, and chopped chervil.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
