Hello Anew & Jerusalem artichokes.

I love the new blog software, though I'm not sure I can handle all the power it gives me... I'll get used to it. B)

I had a great breakfast this morning. Last night I steamed some jerusalem artichokes to go with baked tilapia and green beans + rice for the boys...a common dinner at the last minute in my house. The artichokes aren't really a last minute thing though, they take a while to peel! They're worth it though. When I was a kid we'd buy canned potatoes and roast them over the campfire, I'm sure that sounds weird if you've never tried it, but they were very good...and that's what jerusalem artichokes taste like. My husband began to complain about the potato famine in our house, but once he tasted them he admitted that they are tasty.

Anyway, this morning I sauteed some mushrooms and the leftover jerusalem artichokes (about 1/3 inch pieces) in some olive oil. Then I added 2 eggs and scrambled them with it, later adding some fresh spinach and ume plum vinegar. It was really really tasty. Green onions would have been a nice addition.

Hopefully I can stay on track for the whole day, without any snack attacks.

Melissa,

We grew Jerusalem artichokes in Colorado when I was growing up. We didn't peel them, just scrubbed them good with a stiff brush and cooked & mashed them or ate them sliced raw...

Hope this makes them more easily enjoyed...
