You can easily forage wild herbs from nature during your trip. This is the season&#8217;s absolute must-try recipe for all outdoor enthusiasts!  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you wish, you can handle the smoking in advance using an electric smoker before your trip. And please don&#8217;t collect pine branches from living trees without the landowner&#8217;s permission! Always remember to check your area&#8217;s wildfire warnings before lighting a fire. The dish can also be prepared using a camping stove if needed.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can determine the serving size based on the potato gnocchi: a 500 g package of gnocchi serves about 2-3 people.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wild Herb Gnocchi Pan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>500 g potato gnocchi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tsp (coarse) Dijon mustard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tsp liquid honey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 garlic clove<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0.5 dl oat cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A handful of wild herbs (e.g., ground elder, cow parsley, and yarrow)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A handful of pecans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cherry tomatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1-2 tbsp olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional for finishing: (Oat) fraiche \/ (vege) feta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality red wine, e.g.,  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alko.fi\/tuotteet\/424137\/Pierrevignes-2022-muovipullo\/\">Pierrevignes &#8211; C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"632\" height=\"790\" class=\"wp-image-3795\" src=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-632x790.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-632x790.jpg 632w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-1536x1920.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-474x593.jpg 474w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-425x531.jpg 425w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-472x590.jpg 472w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes10-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instructions:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place the nuts in an uncoated pot so that about a quarter of the pot&#8217;s bottom is covered. Halve the cherry tomatoes and cover another quarter with them. Light a small, fresh pine branch in the campfire or with a torch, lift it while burning\/smoking into the pot on the empty side, and close the lid quickly. Metal tongs make handling the burning branch easier.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let it smoke for 10 minutes. Taste, and repeat if you want a stronger smoky flavor. You can also smoke the ingredients in outdoor conditions by placing them in a metal strainer and holding it over the fire, above the smoking spot, for about 10 min.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cook the gnocchi until done in salted water, in a high-sided pan or pot, following the package instructions for a few minutes. They&#8217;re ready when they float to the surface. Pour out the water, but leave a couple of tablespoons. Mix together the honey, mustard, minced garlic, and cream. Stir into the gnocchi. Add a generous splash of olive oil and a handful of coarsely chopped wild herbs, and toss in the pan. Finally, add the tomatoes and nuts. Enjoy as is or with a dollop of fraiche \/ (vege) feta.       <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quality red wine from a recycled plastic bottle pairs well with this dish: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alko.fi\/tuotteet\/424137\/Pierrevignes-2022-muovipullo\/\">Pierrevignes C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne.<\/a> Pierrevignes works with both mustardy and various smoky foods, and the wine is also vegan!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This recipe for Viikon Viini was created by Wilderness Guide Sonja Lassila.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes a Good Outdoor Wine?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a lightweight plastic bottle of quality red wine for your outdoor trip, one that pairs especially well with smoky food. A plastic bottle definitely won&#8217;t break in nature and won&#8217;t leak thanks to its screw cap. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"632\" height=\"474\" class=\"wp-image-3796\" src=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-632x474.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-632x474.jpg 632w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-791x593.jpg 791w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-708x531.jpg 708w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-590x443.jpg 590w, https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/villiyrtti-gnocchipannu-pierrevignes12-380x285.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experience and taste the incredible combination of wild herbs, mustard, smoke, and red wine!&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9224,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_page_background_color":"","_page_header_background":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[452,469,431,461,448,446,436,445,464,438],"tags":[],"makuelamys":[],"class_list":["post-9221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmentally-responsible","category-featured","category-food-and-wine","category-grilled-to-perfection","category-herbs","category-red-wines","category-savory-snacks","category-vegan","category-vegan-and-vegetarian-dishes","category-we-recommend"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9221"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9237,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9221\/revisions\/9237"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9221"},{"taxonomy":"makuelamys","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/viikonviini.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/makuelamys?post=9221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
