Midday Meal :: Truffled Sunchokes

Tuesday, June 2, 2009 Recipes  

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 1/4 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.

    Thanks ladies !
    Diann- 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 !

  • Sunday Suppers writes:

    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.

    I 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.

    Hi Linda- We don’t peel them! it’s a lot easier & adds a little texture too
