Jerusalem Artichokes

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Mushy

    Step 1

    Unfortunately, there’s no way to unmush them. For now, you’ll just have to make either mashed Jerusalem artichokes (just like you make mashed potatoes) or cream of Jerusalem artichoke soup (blend with some broth and cream). Next time, watch your chokes very closely, since they can turn mushy in the blink of an eye.

  2. Discolored

    Step 2

    If the color bothers you, make them into soup or cover them with sauce. They do discolor quickly, so next time, cook or eat them immediately after cutting. If you want to prepare them in advance or eat them raw but not immediately, either toss them with an acidic dressing or soak them in acidulated water (water with lemon juice or vinegar in it). And don’t cook them in an aluminum or iron pan, as both can cause discoloration.
