Nutritional values
This main meal contains relevant amounts of the B vitamins folic acid and vitamin B6. Both serve for blood formation and are important for our nerves: While folic acid nourishes the fat protective layer of the nerve endings, vitamin B6 strengthens the nervous system.
Tip: Cook a sample potato dumpling to check the right consistency, because the amount of flour required varies depending on the quality of the potatoes. To do this, form about 1 teaspoon of dough into a ball, place in boiling salted water and cook until it floats to the surface. If the dough is too soft, the ball falls apart - then knead in some more flour.

Preparation steps
Rinse potatoes and place in a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil, covered. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Rinse and cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) wide pieces.
Rinse potatoes under cold water, peel and press through a potato ricer into a bowl. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, squeeze lemon. Rinse apples and cut around core into 4 slices about 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) thick. Cut apple slices into cubes and mix with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Grate a small amount of nutmeg into the potatoes. Add semolina, flour, egg and salt and knead into a dough. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour.
Dust work surface with flour. Divide dough into 3 portions and shape each section into a 40 cm (approximately 16-inch) log. Slice logs into 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) thick rounds.
Form rounds into small balls. Using a fork dipped in flour, press the gnocchi to slightly flatten.
Heat canola oil in a pot and sauté leeks until softened. Add vegetable broth and juniper berries. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add half of the gnocchi and cook over low heat until they float to the surface.
Remove the cooked gnocchi with a skimmer and keep warm on a plate. Cook remaining gnocchi. Add horseradish and apples to the leeks and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange gnocchi on top of leeks and apples and serve.
