Unearthing the underrated, yet brilliant Jerusalem artichokes
Darina Allen: Three recipes you have to try with my favourite underrated winter vegetable

Here are a few recipes to whet your appetite for Jerusalem artichokes

As promised, this week’s column is completely devoted to what is probably my favourite but most underrated winter vegetable — the Jerusalem artichoke. Despite their name, they’ve got nothing to do with Jerusalem and aren’t even related to artichokes. The flavour is reminiscent of globe artichoke hearts: Sweet and nutty. The name appears to be an adaptation of girasole, the Italian word for sunflowers.

They wouldn’t win any prizes in a veggie beauty contest. They resemble misshapen, knobbly potatoes and can be white, pale purple, or yellow depending on the strain.
