"Yes! I'm liking this veg and fruit box of yours. So - you can do a layered gratin with it. Instead of using potatoes (which I don't think you eat much of?), you could do sliced carrots, sweet potatoes, artichoke and a creamy garlic peppery sauce to bake it in. " You're right I don't eat potato. That sounds like a root vegetable dauphinoise which I could really enjoy. | |||

I don't eat too many roots but I'll make an exception for this I think. | |||

"Roast the fuckers with a bit of maple syrup over the top to help cara_elise and add taste" I read that maple syrup is a good addition. I always laugh when people refer to things as "the fuckers" I don't know why. | |||

"Jerusalem artichokes with bacon, garlic and lemon. They make a decent soup as well. Ooo now that sounds delicious? " 2 tbsp: Flatleaf parsley, fresh 2: Garlic cloves, fat 2 kg: Jerusalem artichokes 1: Lemon 2 1/2 tbsp: Olive oil 40 g: Butter 150g unsmoked, rindless streaky bacon 1. Finely grate the zest from the lemon onto a plate, cover with cling film and set aside to use later. Halve the lemon, squeeze out the juice and put the juice and lemon halves into a bowl with plenty of cold water. Peel the artichokes, cut away the ends, then cut into two if very long. Trim a little from each end to give barrel-shaped pieces, then drop them into the lemony water as you go, to stop them discolouring. 2. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil and half the butter in a large sauté pan or deep frying pan over a medium heat. Drain the artichokes, dry them well, add to the pan and sprinkle with ½ tsp salt. Partially cover the pan with a lid and leave to part-steam, part-fry for 15-20 minutes until just tender, turning regularly. Don’t cook them too fast or handle them too roughly – they may collapse. 3. Meanwhile, cut the bacon into lardons. Five minutes before the artichokes are cooked, heat the remaining oil in another large frying pan or shallow flameproof casserole. Add the bacon and fry gently until just turning golden. Add the garlic and leave to cook for a few seconds, then stir in the remaining butter, reserved lemon zest and parsley. 4. Carefully tip the cooked artichokes into the second pan and gently toss everything together. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve. is nice | |||

"I love them. They are delicious. I am too lazy to peel the bobbly buggers so I just trim the stringy bits off... Just treat them like any other root veg. They are sweetish and nuttyish ..... bit like a parsnip inside. They fry nicely with a crispy outside. They boil. They mash . They roast . They soup... What's not to love?" I'm going to bung some of them in the ninja tonight with purple carrots olive oil, honey and mustard. | |||

"of my fruit and veg box. This week's conundrum is Jerusalem artichokes. Any ideas?" Fartichokes? Great low carb food packed with inulin which is indigestible, hence the farts! Do with them what you'd do with spuds but I think roasted in animal fat is the best. | |||
