I thought I'd share:<br /><br />8 servings<br />1/4 cup olive oil<br />4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried)<br />3 pounds Jerusalem artichokes<br /><br />1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley<br /><br />Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine oil and rosemary in large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Scrub Jerusalem artichokes under cold running water (do not peel). Cut in half. Immediately add to the oil mixture and toss to coat.<br /><br />Arrange artichokes, cut side down, on heavy large baking sheet. Bake until artichokes are just tender and cut sides are golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer to platter. Season with salt; sprinkle with parsley and serve.<br /><br />:) SilkeSilke Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094855019089665976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-24618425672879885672009-11-17T18:37:08.514-08:002009-11-17T18:37:08.514-08:00Silke,

At least that's what they look like to me. We eat them a lot in soups and stews instead of potatoes. In New Mexico they grew wild everywhere! Here, we can find them at the health food store. I like the way they taste! I'm glad you had your trusty helper with you and hope you jumped with him in the huge pile of leaves... :) SilkeSilke Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094855019089665976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-43617264826697573862009-11-17T06:42:04.721-08:002009-11-17T06:42:04.721-08:00Ayak,

I have heard of them, but never found anywhere you could get your tubers. You couldn't send some over could you? <br /><br />Saying that having just looked at a couple of photos on Wikipedia, it looks very much like a plant that grows wild in the river valley near here. I kept thinking, they look a little like sunflowers. Maybe I should dig a couple up and see what the tubers look like.<br /><br />On Stefaneener and the bamboo, yes I have recently now found that a lot of bamboo is not organic, neither in growing nor processing. For the growing it seems particularly daft, because you can literally watch it grow without doing anything to it. <br /><br />But thanks for pointing it out. Just shows one should never accept things immediately at face value. If our land was flatter and easier to work, I'd give it over completely to bamboo production as a cash crop.Heikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999245793961798308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-55583470297549587162009-11-15T19:03:54.036-08:002009-11-15T19:03:54.036-08:00Mr. H.,
