20th November 2017

Artichoke recipeIngredients

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium chopped onion
  • 1 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 4/5  jerusalem artichokes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 cup of chicken or vegetable stock
  • 100ml single cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Truffle Oil for extra flavour

 
Method
 
1) Heat the butter in a soup pot over medium-high heat and cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Do not brown them. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Sprinkle with salt.
 
2) Add the jerusalem artichokes and the chicken stock to the pot and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, until the jerusalem artichokes begin to break down.
 
3) Using an immersion blender or upright blender, purée the soup. 
 
4) Add the cream and simmer for another 10 minutes.
 
For some extra special flavour, add truffle oil.
