(aka Jerusalem Artichoke)
Just in case your grocery store is out of the basics like greens and broccoli (or maybe you're just sick of them), I'm going to post recipes for some lesser utilized foods.
WHAT IS A SUNCHOKE? It is a root vegetable that can be eaten raw (kind of like a water chestnut) or cooked (see recipe below). They are one of the best sources of prebiotics (food for probiotics) and fiber. Also a nice source the minerals copper (yay healthy skin), phosphorus (yay healthy teeth), and potassium (yay healthy blood pressure).
ROASTED SUNCHOKES:
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb sunchokes
1 Tbl extra virgin olive oil.
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
1-2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Clean off sunchokes, and slice into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for about 20 minutes. You can also slow roast them at 325 to 350 degrees. - Toss the roasted sunchokes with fresh herbs before serving.
