Jerusalem artichokes
« on: March 08, 2011, 04:22:21 pm »
Help!  i have just got around to clearing my veg patch and I have a ton of them!  Any lovely recipes for me to try?  I Have done them with potatoes and horseradish in cream (delicious!) and have just found a pickle recipe but have plenty of scope if anyone has any ideas?

Very good fried in butter - slice them up first. Also, just pop a few in the roasting tin with your meat. They cook pretty quickly, so probably only need about 45 minutes.

We've got loads aswell - love them, but the particular strain we seem to have are so powerful in the wind producing departement, that we have to eat them very sparingly.

Hmmm...I almost put (f)artichokes in the title of this thread!  :-\. apparently, if you eat them little and often it lessens the effect!  (Also true for things like lentils and beans apparently too)

We are just going through last years batch. The taste and ease of cooking (roasting is great, and HFW has a great recipe in his last cooking book., the EVERYDAY one, for an artichoke bake) ALMOST make up for us singularly increasing the UK's contribution to global warming....

Got a bumper crop after a friend gve me a dozen for planting, tried dophinoise (probably totally wrong) on sunday, although the portions were not that big the effects were so bad the wife is now asking me to plant something else in the patch next year. I have mentioned it might not be that easy to get them out, good job i put them well out f the way!!!!!!!!!!!. Is ther no way of getting rid of the effects it seems such a pity when they fill an empty producing time.

A friend used to plant a field of 'em for the pigs to rootle up - they loved 'em!
