Beef Stew with Gnocchi

Ingredients

~ 1 1/2 lbs brisket, cut into chunks (or stew meat)
white onion, diced (1/2 of a large onion or a medium onion)
2 carrots, diced (approx 1/2 cup)
1 celery stalk, diced 
cherry tomatoes, halved (approx 1 cup)
3 spoonfuls of minced garlic

Add the above to the crockpot. Then, sprinkle the following over top.

salt
pepper
dried parsley
sweet smoked paprika
thyme
4 whole cloves
1 bay leaf

Whisk the following together. Then, pour over and mix with a spoon.

2 cups beef stock
1/6 cup gluten free oat flour or 1:1 flour
1 tbsp tomato paste

Set crockpot to high, cook about 4 - 4 1/2 hours (recipe said 5 hours).

Take bay leaf out. Add gluten free gnocchi and a handful of frozen peas.
Cook 30 more minutes.

Alternative with potatoes ...
Add baby red or fingerling potatoes at the beginning instead of the gnocchi.
Or make mashed potatoes separate. Then, scoop stew over top of mash on plate.
