Lara MThe Hills Have Eyes Gnocchi Salad Experience
April 25th 2006 11:10
My friend recently received free tickets to The Hills Have Eyes but unfortunately couldn’t make it so she passed them on to me. This is horror film by Wes Craven and is a remake of an earlier version released in the 70s.
As we were running late for the 6:45pm start I just had the chance to quickly grab a salad from a random Westfield food vendor who had not yet closed up for the evening.
We rushed into the cinema just as the film began. Within the first five minutes about six people had been gruesomely and graphically hacked to death by an obscured figure with a big rusty hook.
To be frank, I no longer felt like eating salad.
Nevertheless, I was extremely hungry and fumbled about in the darkness for my serviette and plastic cutlery. I took a bit and discovered that the salad was extremely delicious!
Sneakily I tried to write down the ingredients on the back of an old receipt from my wallet, though the darkness of the cinema impeded my progress somewhat.
From then on I tried to eat only in the nice bits of the movie, of which there were few. In case this is sounding more like a movie review than a food related article, let me tell you about how food featured in the movie.
Disgusting characters (whose identity I will not reveal for fear of spoiling the movie—even though it’s relatively obvious) munch on a dog, and people. Mmmm!
I recommend that you do not eat this while watching any gore fest blood bath type movie, as I did.
Ingredients:
Pumpkin
Basil Leaves
Veal
Pine Nuts
Potato Gnocchi
Fetta Cheese
Pesto Sauce
Method: I apologise for this being brief and sketchy. Roast the pumpkin earlier in large chopped sections. Cook the veal in a frying pan with some oil while you boil some water in a pot. Add the gnocchi and cook as per the directions on the back of the pack. It shouldn’t take long, no more than five minutes or so. When everything is cooked combine and add all the other ingredients as they are. Drizzle with pesto sauce and toss. (This can be store bought in a jar or home made if you’re extra keen)
(I think this could potentially be even nicer without the veal, I found it was a bit tough amongst the predominantly squishy other ingredients) Also, as the main and most filling ingredient it’s pretty important to buy good quality gnocchi. I recommend the Latino pasta brand.

Scary!
