Gluten Free Ricotta Gnocchi Pulled Duck Ragu

To make gluten-free ricotta gnocchi pulled duck ragu, you will need the following ingredients and steps:

Ingredients for the gnocchi:

• 1 cup ricotta cheese (drained, if too wet)
• 1 cup gluten-free flour (plus extra for dusting)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Optional: a pinch of nutmeg for added flavour

Ingredients for the ragu:

• Two duck legs
• 2 cups Napoli (tomato) sauce
• Two sprigs of fresh rosemary
• Olive oil for cooking
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Red wine
• One carrot, onion, celery finely chopped

Ingredients for garnish:

• Shaved Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped

Steps for the gnocchi:

1. Mix ricotta, flour, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough; it should be soft and slightly sticky.
2. Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a long, thin rope on a lightly floured surface. Cut the rope into bite-sized pieces and press each with a fork to create the classic gnocchi shape.
3. Cook the gnocchi in batches in a large pot of boiling salted water until they rise to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Steps for the ragu:

1. Preheat oven to 150°C. Heat a medium-sized casserole dish over medium heat, then add duck skin-side down and fry until browned and fat renders. This may take up to 5 minutes. Turn the legs over and fry them until browned for another 3 minutes, then take them out of the pot.
2. Add carrot, onion, celery, and rosemary to the same pot, and sauté until vegetables are tender. Add tomato paste and cook until the colour deepens. Deglaze the pan with wine and stir until thickened. Add the Napoli sauce and bring to a boil. Season to taste, add the duck, cover with a lid or foil, and braise in the oven until meat falls from the bone. This should take anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours.
3. Uncover, rest for around 15 minutes, then remove duck legs and, when cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones in chunks and stir into the sauce. Discard the rosemary sprigs.

To serve, gently mix the gnocchi with the ragu. Place in bowls and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Enjoy your gluten-free ricotta gnocchi pulled duck ragu!
