Jerusalem Artichokes, 500g

Jerusalem Artichokes 500g are 500g of Jerusalem artichokes — the knobbly, sweet root vegetable unrelated to globe artichokes. Jerusalem artichokes are the tubers of a sunflower species. In particular, they have a distinctive, nutty, slightly sweet flavour with an earthy depth. As a result, they make one of the finest cream soups available and an outstanding roasted vegetable. Furthermore, they are a winter staple that rewards simple, confident cooking.

About Jerusalem Artichokes 500g

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Jerusalem Artichokes 500g from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Jerusalem Artichokes 500g From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Jerusalem Artichokes 500g

To get the very best from Jerusalem Artichokes 500g:

• Scrub the knobbly skin well — peeling is optional as the skin is edible.
• Roast at 200°C with olive oil, thyme and sea salt for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and caramelised.
• Alternatively, simmer until tender and blend with cream, butter and a little truffle oil for an outstanding velouté.
• Furthermore, Jerusalem artichokes work very well raw when sliced thinly and dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Perfect Pairings

Jerusalem Artichokes 500g pairs beautifully with:

• Truffle oil, aged Parmesan or hazelnuts to complement the nutty flavour
• Crispy smoked bacon or pancetta as a garnish
• A white Burgundy, aged Viognier or a light, earthy Pinot Noir
• Scallops, duck or game — Jerusalem artichoke pairs beautifully with rich proteins

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place or refrigerate. Root vegetables keep well for several days after delivery. Furthermore, most roots can be peeled in advance and stored in cold water. However, use as soon as possible for the finest flavour and texture. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Jerusalem Artichokes 500g brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
