Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lemon, halved
1 pound Jerusalem artichokes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, melted, for dish
1 1/2 pounds fingerling or other small potatoes, skins on, cut into thirds lengthwise
9 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
4 small cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup heavy cream
2 ounces Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack positioned in the center. Squeeze the juice from two lemon halves into a medium bowl of water. Peel and cut the Jerusalem artichokes lengthwise into thirds, and add to the acidulated water. Butter a shallow 7 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch ovenproof baking dish, and set aside.
  • Place the potatoes, carrots, garlic, and 2 tablespoons parsley in a large bowl. Remove the Jerusalem artichokes from the water, pat dry, and add to the bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and arrange the vegetables in an even layer in the prepared dish. Dot with the butter.
  • Pour cream into a small saucepan; heat over medium-high heat just until it comes to a boil. Pour hot cream over vegetables; cover dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any cream that might bubble over. Transfer both baking sheet and dish to oven, and cook until potatoes begin to soften, about 30 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Remove aluminum foil; stir vegetables so they are coated with cream. Continue cooking until the tip of a knife easily pierces potatoes and artichokes, about 30 minutes more.
  • Preheat the broiler. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the cheese, and sprinkle over the gratin. Place dish under broiler, and cook just until the cheese is golden brown and crusty. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon parsley, and serve hot.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE GRATIN



Jerusalem Artichoke Gratin image

Jerusalem artichokes also known as Sunchokes, are awkward-looking tubers even bumpier than fresh ginger. The flavor is much like a regular artichoke, though they are not related they are sweeter and a little starchier. They taste a little smokey and retain a crispness when cooked, if not overcooked. They cook very quickly, so be careful not to turn them to mush. The recipe calls for peeling them, though I just scrub them as the tender brown skin is edible. They make a good appetizer, are good raw in salads. NOTE; Since I posted and made this recipe "Uncle Bill" Bill Anatooskin has also made the recipe. He made it for a group of about 20 people,He said they DEVOURED every morsel and looked for more. Many had never eaten Jerusalem Artichokes. He e-mailed me the changes that he made, I made some changes to when making the recipe. So I combined the changes. We hope that you enjoy the artichokes.

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Jerusalem artichokes (about 10 small), peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick, and reserved in cold water (drain and pat dry before using)
3 cups milk
8 ounces crème fraîche
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese (4 ounces)
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
5 ounces shallots (about 4), thinly sliced
5 ounces jarred or vacuum-packed peeled chestnuts, halved lengthwise
4 slices white bread, trimmed of crusts, lightly toasted and torn into small pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large saucepan, bring the artichokes and milk just to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until artichokes are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander set over a bowl; reserve 3/4 cup milk.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the reserved milk with the crème fraîche, lemon juice, 1/4 cup cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the artichokes, potatoes, shallots, and chestnuts; stir to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into a 1 1/2-quart gratin dish; cover tightly with foil. Bake on a baking sheet until the artichokes are tender when pierced, about 1 hour. Remove the foil; sprinkle the top of the gratin with the bread pieces and remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Continue baking, uncovered, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes more. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the skin from Jerusalem artichokes, place them in a bowl of cold water and rub them gently with your hands. The skin should come off easily.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the Jerusalem artichokes.
  • To make sure the gratin is cooked through, insert a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the gratin is ready.
  • For a crispier topping, broil the gratin for a few minutes at the end of cooking.
  • Serve the gratin immediately, while it is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Jerusalem artichoke and chestnut gratin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of Jerusalem artichokes, chestnuts, and Gruyère cheese is rich and flavorful, and the gratin is sure to impress your guests. It is also a good source of fiber and vitamins. Enjoy!
