Curried Jerusalem Artichokes Or Sun Chokes Topinambours Au Kari Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Scrub Jerusalem artichoke tubers and cut out eyes. Cut tubers into 1-inch pieces.
• Mix olive oil, thyme, garlic, and sea salt together in a large bowl; add Jerusalem artichoke pieces and toss to coat. Arrange coated pieces in one evenly-spaced layer on a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until Jerusalem artichokes are tender, 35 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Peel and finely slice 1kg Jerusalem artichokes, adding to a bowl of water and lemon juice. Heat 75g butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat and, once foaming, add the artichokes, 1 crushed garlic clove and 3 thyme sprigs.
• Cook for 20 mins or so, adding another 75g cubed butter gradually, cube by cube, basting frequently so that the artichokes are always covered in foaming butter, until they're a rich roasted colour. Just before serving, toss with the juice 1 lemon and season to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Using a small regular or swivel-bladed paring knife, peel the artichokes. If the artichokes are very large, cut them in half. Ideally, the artichokes or pieces of artichoke should be of uniform size or the size of the smallest whole artichoke.
• Put the artichokes in a saucepan. Add cold water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to the boil. Let simmer about 10 to 15 minutes or until tender but still a little crisp. Drain well.
• Meanwhile, melt three tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Cut the hot artichokes into not-too-small bite-size cubes or wedges. There should be about two cups.
• Heat one tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook until wilted. Add the artichoke pieces, cream and cayenne. Bring to a boil and add the white sauce. Blend well. Bring to a simmer. Add three-quarters cup of the grated cheese and stir until melted. Add the egg yolk and let simmer about 15 seconds.
• Pour and scrape the mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Place under the broiler and let stand until bubbling and nicely glazed on top.

Steps:

• Using a small regular or swivel-bladed paring knife, peel the artichokes. Cut the artichokes into thin quarter-inch thick slices. There should be about five cups. Set aside.
• Heat the butter in a small kettle or large saucepan and add the leeks. Cook, stirring, about two minutes. Add the nutmeg and flour, stirring to blend evenly.
• Add the sliced artichokes and stir. Add the chicken broth and milk.
• Rinse the watercress and chop it coarsely. There should be about four cups loosely packed. Add the chopped watercress to the artichoke mixture. Bring to the boil and cook about 15 minutes.
• Put the soup through a food mill or blend using a food processor. Return the soup to a saucepan and bring to the simmer.
• Add the cream, salt and pepper. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• Using a small regular or swivel-bladed paring knife, peel the artichokes. Cut them lengthwise in half and then into one-inch pieces. They will be irregular in shape. There should be about three cups.
• Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the artichokes, curry powder, salt and pepper and stir. Add the raisins and chutney. Cook, stirring, about one minute.
• Add the milk and cream and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until artichokes are tender but still slightly crisp. Serve.
