Casey’s tips:
To peel or not to peel: we like leaving the skin on as it gives a nice texture but feel free to peel.
Truffled Sunchokes
2 lbs sunchokes
2 tbl butter
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tbl truffle oil
2 tbl chopped parsley
Rinse the sunchokes well, Slice sunchokes into ¼ inch pieces. Melt butter on medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add sunchokes. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fork tender. Remove from the heat. Toss with truffle oil and parsley.

ReplyDeleteI've never used sunchokes...Can you describe the flavor and texture?
ReplyDeletePictures on this blog are as lovely as the recipes!
I have never seen sun chokes. I wonder if they have them in a store here in the albany ny?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photograph!
Thanks ladies !
ReplyDeleteDiann- i would describe sunchokes as a cross between a potato and an artichoke...they are slightly sweet and a little nutty in taste. hope that helps ? let us know if you try them !
Thanks Thea- they're in season, so they just might have them at the reg. supermarket - they're often overlooked bc. they look like small potatoes ! also, try a local farmer's market, they would surely have them.
ReplyDeleteLovely blog! Hope to try some of your recipes when we hit our summer!
ReplyDeleteI love sunchokes. I usually make them with oil and vinegar. Do you peel yours? This is the worst thing about the chokes is peeling them.
ReplyDeleteTruffled sunchokes, delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda- We don't peel them! it's a lot easier & adds a little texture too
