Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Jerusalem artichokes are very hard, which is a good way to check that they are fresh because they soften as they age.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Then peel with a peeler, it is not easy, Jerusalem artichokes often having a little bit of a bent shape.

Stage 4

Dip into a bowl of water as you go.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Then cut into thin slices (a mandolin is ideal for this).

Stage 6

Plunge the slices into a large pot of boiling salted water ( English style cooking).

A scum will form...

Stage 7 - 10 min.

...you can remove it for further cooking.

Cook until the Jerusalem artichokes are tender (about 8-10 minutes).

Stage 8
