Cooking Jerusalem Artichokes Recipes
Description
Jerusalem artichokes, also known as Sunchokes, are a member of the sunflower family and are closely related to the artichoke. Unlike the artichoke, however, Jerusalem artichokes do not have a tough outer layer and can be eaten without peeling. They have a nutty flavor and a crisp texture that makes them an excellent addition to any dish. Jerusalem artichokes can be cooked in a variety of ways, including roasting, boiling, steaming, and sautéing, and they are a great source of fiber, iron, and vitamin C. Whether you’re looking to add a unique twist to an old favorite, or trying something new, these recipes can help you make the most of your Jerusalem artichokes.
Ingredients
To make the recipes below, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1-2 pounds of Jerusalem artichokes, washed and cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 cup of white wine
- 1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Roasted Jerusalem artichokes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the cubed Jerusalem artichokes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast the artichokes for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and serve.
Sautéed Jerusalem artichokes:
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cubed Jerusalem artichokes and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the white wine and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broth and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until the liquid has reduced. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley. Serve immediately.
