Does anyone on this board actually use these vegetables? I know they have a reputation for creating gas, but would appreciate any first hand recipes on what to do with them!

I make soup, there is a really nice Digby Law recipe if you google it. I have also had it at a restaurant very finely sliced and crisp roasted in butter as an accompaniment to a meat dish, it was very nice. I also add some to roast vegetables when in season, ie mix with potatoes, pumpkin, parsnip etc whatever you are roasting . We love it's delicate flavour, and the family name for them is fartichokes. :). They grow really easily from just one artichoke, or even from the peelings .

Oh I love them just steamed on their own, also raw grated in salads for crunch

Beyond its prebiotic properties, Jerusalem artichokes are rich with iron, potassium, and vitamin C. Jerusalem artichokes are also a great source of thiamine (B1) and pantothenic acid (B5), a very good source of niacin (B3), and a good source of pyridoxine (B6) and riboflavin (B2). I was recently given some and told you eat it in small amounts due to the association of gas, I roasted it with potatoes and kumara last night and it was a small amount very well roasted - gotta say cooked that way they are delish!

I have grown them for the first time & not too fussed on them roasted or as a vegetable . but this recipe I have made & it was a huge hit & a definite 'keeper' imo. The flavour is delicate, slightly earthy & totally delicious. http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/soups/carrot-and-artichoke-soup.html Well worth putting up with a bit of extra fa**ing!
