PERUVIAN PURPLE POTATO DUMPLINGS WITH RAGOUT OF HEIRLOOM TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat a medium size pan over high heat. Saute the garlic with olive oil and toss the heirloom tomatoes until heated through, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in 1/4 cup of the fresh basil before serving dish.
• Peel and dice the potatoes and place in a small bowl. Blanch the potatoes lightly in salted water and rinse in ice water to keep the color.
• Mix the cooled, cooked potatoes with the flour, eggs, and roasted garlic. Form mixture into a dough. Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface, into a snake approximately 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 1/2 inch pieces and using your hands, roll each piece into balls.
• Cook the dumplings in boiling water. Cook for approximately 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the dumplings and toss with the Heirloom tomato ragu.
• To serve, add the remaining torn fresh basil, and serve immediately on a large platter.
