JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE GRATIN
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.

Steps:
- Peel Jerusalem artichokes and cut into 1-inch pieces. In a stainless-steel or enameled saucepan combine artichokes, milk, and enough water to cover artichokes by 1 inch and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. (Milk will help prevent artichokes from discoloring.) While artichokes are cooking, in a large skillet heat 2 tablespoons butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté onion, garlic, and 1 tablespoon sage until onion is golden, about minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Drain artichokes and in a food processor pulse with onion mixture and Parmesan until smooth. Spoon purée into a 2-quart buttered gratin dish. In large skillet melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter over moderate heat and sauté bread crumbs with remaining 2 tablespoons sage until golden, about 5 minutes. Season bread crumbs with salt and pepper and sprinkle evenly over purée. Gratin may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead and chilled covered.
- Bake gratin in middle of oven until hot and bread crumbs are a shade darker, about 20 minutes, and garnish with fried sage leaves.
- To make fried sage leaves:
- In a small skillet heat 1/8 inch oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and fry sage leaves, 1 at a time, about 3 seconds, until crisp, transferring with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle sage leaves with coarse salt.
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE AND CHESTNUT GRATIN
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 save time, use pre-packaged Jerusalem artichoke hearts instead of whole artichokes.
- If you're using fresh artichokes, be sure to trim and peel them properly before cooking.
- Jerusalem artichokes can be roasted, sautéed, or boiled before being added to the gratin.
- You can use any type of cheese you like for the gratin, but a sharp cheddar or Gruyère is a good choice.
- For a crispy topping, sprinkle some panko breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese on top of the gratin before baking.
- Jerusalem artichoke gratin can be served as a main course or a side dish.
