Why has no one ever told me about sunchokes?
January 22, 2008 ( Food )
I had sunchokes (Jerusalem Artichokes) for the first time at a Restaurant Week visit to Circle Bistro. They look like fat ginger root and taste like mild artichoke hearts. A and I located some at Central Markup. We tossed them in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sage and garlic powder and roasted them for ~30 minutes and they were delish. Turns out they're basically the root of a sunflower and grow like weeds in the Northeast; so I'll be adding them to my garden as soon as I can figure out when they should be planted (you can cut up a sunchoke and plant it like a potato.
