Topinambours Provencale Recipe

Ingredients: (serves 6)

1 kg/2 lb Sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes), scraped
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 kg/1 lb tomatoes, peeled, deseeded and chopped
1 tbsp tomato puree
juice of ½ lemon
a little fresh thyme
1 tsp sugar
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped parsley

Method:

  • Slice the sunchokes (artichokes) thickly and steam or poach until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, warm the garlic in the oil, add the tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced a little.
  • When the texture is pulpy, add the tomato puree, lemon juice, thyme, sugar and seasoning.
  • Heat and pour it over the cooked artichokes in a serving dish. Just before wing sprinkle with chopped parsley. This is equally delicious hot or cold.
