Title: Just a reminder...Jerusalem artichokes!!
Post by: Jeannine on February 18, 2013, 07:09:26
I haven't cooked these in a while  but  yesterday  we dug out some of the crop from the ones I planted last year  I roasted  them in garlic flavoured goose fat..you know I had forgotten how good they were.


I forgot how quickly they live up to their nickname too...scuse me :tongue3:

HA HAHAHAHA, Yes they are great doers as well and just tolerate any amount of neglect!
Apparently winter savory reduces the gas production, mine is just a few sticks at this time of year though and so not much use!

I'm going to dig some passamaquaddies today for roasting tonight  :toothy10: Roasted with garlic sounds super, don't know why but never thought to do them with it.

I've got some to cook too.  The problem is finding an evening when we all jhave nothing social planned the following day.   We love them as Palestine soup or sliced and baked slowly with cream and garlic like dauphinoises potatoes but just roasting with garlic and olive oil would be great too I think.    Haven't got any goose or duck fat.

Quiet nice raw too bit like water chestnut but I do peel. My mother has said if I ever serve them to her again she will right me out of her will, mind you she still has her gas mask!

and so quick too. for us it was not the following day..just later that evening. It was funny too cos we had visitors all day and it got them just at the tail end of the visit :toothy10: They didn't even know  what they were, I think they think they were roasties.

JayB, I never did get any Passamaquaddies, I sent them all over there to a few folks and was going to wait till the next year for myself, then they didn't have any. I see they are back this year though.

I grew three types, I would have to look them up, but one was red, 1 white and another nameless white from someone in the US. I wish I knew which white it was that grew so huge but we moved them and they got mixed up.

I git the members catalogue from SSE yesterday and there where lots of kinds in there. Gosh what a book , more than an inch thick, a super read.. I am going shopping in it tomorrow.
