General Preparation of Jerusalem Artichokes
 

Jerusalem artichokes can be cooked and served with or without the skin. Either scrub well or peel thinly. Place cut pieces in acidulated water (water with a squeeze of lemon juice) to prevent discolouration. Alternatively,  blanch whole for 5 minutes then rub the skins off once cooled.  Cook or use raw in salads.
