Jerusalem artichokes

For future reference - I can't recommend highly enough Jerusalem artichoke and carrot soup. I use the Covent garden recipe from my book, very simple, but Delia has one too - looks similar, and her's is available online. I think it's delicious, the artichokes REALLY add something to the carrot. It's one of my very favourite soups, and I always double up to make eight portions for lunches. yum yum yum!0

I tend to roast them but a friend does them sort of italian style: slow cooked in tomatoes garlic and parsley.
I also like them par-boiled, sliced and sauted.
I find that soup is very wind inducing but the other recipes are less problematic.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -

I'll second that - the Delia recipe is gorgeous (and the addition of the carrots does seem to reduce the after effects a bit!)
We've just dug up our crop of Jerusalem artichokes and got far more than we were expectng, so I'm going to try the gratin next - that looks really nice.If we are supposed to be thin, why does chocolate exist?0 -

Jerusalem Artichokes are very invasive in the garden too - if you plant them once, it seems you have them forever as they reappear every year - very good valueOfficial DFW Nerd No 096 - Proud to have dealt with my debt!0

Well, the question was sort of solved for me because, after roasting just one to see what it was like, I left the others on the back door step to dry slightly as they were a bit muddy - and the chickens have eaten them all
Still, that was only one lot - as you say, newleaf, loads more in the garden where that came from...0 -
Heheheh! Cleaning out your chookies will be fun for the next day or two, I imagine! Poor things will wonder what hit them.Official DFW Nerd No 096 - Proud to have dealt with my debt!0

Hi ChocClare,
Sorry to hear the chooks got them! I've added your thread to the existing one on Jerusalem artichokes to give you more ideas for the others.

I didn't realise chickens could eat them, otherwise mine wouldn't have gone into the compost bin......... which is, in everyone in this house's opinion, the best place for them! UghFreedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0
