Jerusalem Artichoke Vinaigrette Recipes

ROASTED JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES (OR SUNCHOKES)

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.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES AND SHRIMP VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• 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 artichokes 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 a boil and let simmer about 10 to 15 minutes or until tender but still a little crisp. Drain well.
• While the artichokes are still warm cut them in quarter-inch thick slices. Put them in a bowl.
• Put the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Start beating with a wire whisk while gradually adding the oil. Beat in salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the shrimp, onion, garlic, pepper flakes and parsley to the artichokes. Pour the sauce over all and stir to blend. Serve.

ARTICHOKE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Trim the sharp tips of the outside artichoke leaves with a sharp knife. Cut off the top of the artichoke about 1-inch and remove the stem so that the bottom is flat. Wash the artichoke in cold water and rub all cut surfaces with some of the fresh lemon juice and pulp.
• (A round slice of lemon may be tied to the bottom of the artichoke to prevent oxidation of the base.)
• Bring water to a boil, add the salt and the remaining pieces of the lemon, rind and all, and place the artichokes base down. Cover the pot and bring the water to the boil again before lowering the heat to a simmer. Cook the artichoke at a steady simmer for 35 to 45 minutes or until a leaf pulls easily free from the center. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the water, remove cool to room temperature. When cool some of the cooking juices may be drizzled over the top of the artichokes.
• In a stainless steel bowl combine the vinegar, mustard, herbs, salt and pepper and whisk to emulsify. Add the oil in a small steady stream until all the oil has been incorporated and the dressing has achieved a silky, smooth texture. The dressing may be stored, covered, for up to two weeks in the refrigerator, but should be brought to room temperature before using.
• Serve the artichoke with some vinaigrette on the side as a dip for each leaf or drizzled over the heart.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE VINAIGRETTE

Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, and place in a blender. Add just enough of the cooking liquid to puree until very smooth. Add reserved tarragon leaves, remaining vinegar, and shallots. Pulse to combine. Add either grapeseed oil or a little of the cooking liquid depending on the desired consistency.
