Jerusalem Artichokes

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I'm looking at a recipe for a Warm Jerusalem Artichoke Salad with Lemon and Fennel. It calls for scrubbing the artichokes with a vegetable brush, cutting them into bite-sized pieces, and boiling them until crisp-tender (they will be heated again later with the fennel and lemon dressing).

When I've made Jerusalem artichokes in the past (admittedly, the very long past), I've always recalled peeling them (as well as recalling that to be a pain), either before or after cooking. If before, then dropping them into acidulated water.

Did this recipe writer skip a step or do people enjoy eating Jerudsalem artichokes with their skins intact?

leaving skins on adds more flavor--I've seen it done both ways, though. No matter what, it'll be great. Can't beat Jerusalem artichokes:chef:

I've always peeled them myself as well, but I do hear as well that leaving the skins intact impart a lot of flavour (not to mention nutrients).
