ROASTED JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES (OR SUNCHOKES)



Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes (or Sunchokes) image

This is a super-easy way to cook these vegetables if you've never tried them before and by far my favorite. Jerusalem artichokes, or sunchokes, are starchy tubers like potatoes and turnips. When roasted, the skin becomes flaky and the flesh becomes tender, but the taste of a sunchoke is slightly nutty and sweet. Cooked sunchokes are best when eaten within 2 days. When raw, they store well in your fridge's vegetable bin, wrapped loosely in a paper towel. Enjoy!

Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place the parsnips and carrots into a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat the vegetables with oil, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly over a baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until the parsnips are tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and the onion is beginning to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the butter, garlic, brown sugar, and the roasted parsnips and carrots. Continue to cook and stir until all of the vegetables are very tender and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Season with the ginger, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper; stir for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer gently until all of the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
  • Stir in the milk and cream. Return to a simmer over medium-low heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

OVEN-ROASTED PARSNIP AND SUNCHOKE



Oven-Roasted Parsnip and Sunchoke image

Sunchokes are tubers, like potatoes, and resemble ginger root. They come from a type of sunflower native to North America. Many people try to peel sunchokes, but I find it is easier to wash them well before tossing them in oil. Parsnips and onions add a nice complexity to this side dish.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Neutral oil, for frying
2 red bell peppers
2 tablespoons XO sherry vinegar
1 cup olive oil
1 pound sunchokes, cut into medium cubes
Kosher salt
8 ounces mayonnaise, preferably Kewpie
4 cloves garlic
3 lemons, juiced and zested

Steps:

  • Preheat a charcoal grill over high heat. Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the peppers directly to the hot coals and allow to char and blister on all sides, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove from the grill and add to a heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to steam, 10 minutes.
  • Remove the peppers from the bowl and place on a clean work surface. Gently remove the seeds and charred skin. Add the peppers to a food processor and turn on the machine. Stream in the vinegar and olive oil.
  • Pour this mixture into a large, high-sided saute pan and place over medium-high heat. Heat just until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, add the sunchokes to the deep-fryer and fry until evenly golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain on a wire rack-lined sheet tray and sprinkle with salt.
  • For the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice and zest in a blender. Whip until smooth.
  • Add the red pepper puree to the bottom of a serving platter. Top with the fried sunchokes and drizzle with the aioli.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds sunchokes, cut into small chunks
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 head garlic
5 ounces goat cheese, softened
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Steps:

  • Spread the sunchokes out evenly on a baking sheet. Season generously with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix them around with your hands so everything gets evenly coated.
  • Slice off the top part of the head of garlic to expose a small amount of the cloves. Place the head, root-side down, in a piece of aluminum foil. Season the top cut part with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil, creating a package, and place it on the baking sheet with the sunchokes. Roast until the sunchokes are brown and slightly tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • While the sunchokes are still hot, smash them with a potato masher or fork. They should be smashed but not completely mashed up.
  • In a large bowl, combine the goat cheese, chives, a generous pinch of salt and pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the smashed sunchokes. Take the garlic out of the foil. Squeeze the bulb so that the roasted cloves come out of the skins and fall into the bowl with the goat cheese and sunchokes. Stir it all up until the ingredients are blended and the sunchokes well coated. Serve immediately.

  • Use a high-quality olive oil: Extra-virgin olive oil is the best choice for roasting vegetables, as it has a rich flavor and high smoke point.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: Roasting at a high temperature (425°F) will help to caramelize the vegetables and bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Season the vegetables generously: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables liberally with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Toss the vegetables halfway through roasting: To ensure even cooking, toss the vegetables halfway through the roasting time.
  • Serve immediately: Roasted sunchokes and parsnips are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
