Jerusalem artichokes (also called Sunchokes) are sweet and almost garlicky and mushroomy and gorgeous. Although called artichokes they’re actually tubers – like rough and ready potatoes. You can scrub and roast them whole like mini jacket potatoes and split them open, drizzled with a little chili oil. You can even use them in a salad with smoky bacon. A Jerusalem artichoke’s best friends are sage, thyme, butter, bacon, bay, cream, breadcrumbs, cheese and anything smokedScallops with Jeruselm Artichokes: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/scallops-with-jerusalem-artichokes-and-lemon-butter-recipe/index.html
Thank you for sharing what these are. I looked at them and scratched my head saying "...maybe ginger and why so much." lol. Glad to know what they really are, now I can appreciate and enjoy them.

When I got my basket today I was wondering what they were too...but then it dawned on me. I thought these were only in fairy tales, since I have only heard about them on FoodNetwork. I can't wait to try them tonight!
