Just wondered what you folks do with them. Not that they are in season or anything, but we get them in our veg box sometimes, and we struggle to get them to taste good...

any ideas for Jerusalem (f)artichokes then folks?

Roasted Jerusalem artichokes

Ingredients
500g/1lb 1½oz Jerusalem artichokes, peeled
25g/1oz unsalted butter
100g/3½oz fresh breadcrumbs



Method
1. Boil the peeled Jerusalem artichokes in boiling salted water for 15 minutes until tender. Drain well.
2. Preheat the oven to 200C/390F/Gas 6.
3. Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the breadcrumbs until crisp and lightly browned. Place the cooked artichokes in an oven dish and cover with the breadcrumbs.
4. Roast for 20 minutes, then serve straightaway

I have tried this and its top draw!

As they are in mine (see original post)

I reckon a curry made of Jerusalem artichokes, beans, sprouts and red cabbage could solve Britain's natural gas shortage smile
