Sunchoke

Sunchoke is one crazy looking thing. It is good eating though. The winter farmer's market yield some wonderful pieces.












Mash is good and I like to cut it up with skin on, boil it until the smaller pieces are soft but there is still a little crunch with the bigger and pieces with skin. It is blended with a little milk and butter. The result looks like a nice mash potato but there are invisible slight crunchy sweet bits mixed in. It goes so well with this braised pork.
