Jerusalem Artichoke

This vegetable is not truly an artichoke, but a variety of sunflower with a lumpy skin that often resembles a ginger root.

Cook It

Jerusalem artichokes can be cooked in much the same way as potatoes and are excellent roasted, sautéed, dipped in batter and fried, or puréed into a delicious soup.
The artichoke flesh will discolor if exposed to air, so place the peeled vegetable in a bowl of acidulated water (cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of white wine vinegar) until ready to cook. Since they are so knobby, it's easier to peel artichokes after boiling.
