Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Thoroughly scrub the Jerusalem artichokes under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and texture, or peel them if preferred. Slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
Peel the fresh ginger and mince it finely. Mince the garlic cloves as well.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the sliced Jerusalem artichokes to the skillet. Stir well to coat the slices evenly with the garlic and ginger mixture.
Season the Jerusalem artichokes with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the spices evenly.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the artichokes cook gently for about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The artichokes should be tender but not mushy.
Once the artichokes are tender, drizzle the lemon juice and honey over them. Stir to combine and let it cook uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, with additional salt or pepper.
Transfer the gingered Jerusalem artichokes to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish alongside roasted meats, grilled fish, or a hearty grain salad.
