Jerusalem artichokes

[woolymonkey]

We brought back a sackful of these from the allotment. They're the last of the crop and I'm bored of my usual ways of cooking them. (OK, I was bored halfway through the very first batch, but they're easy to grow.)

Please! Does anyone have easy recipe ideas? Note: the idea is to use the buggers up. I am not interested in recipes which require "2 small Jerusalem artichokes".

Alternatively, if anyone in central Cambridge is pining for Jerusalem artichokes, I could probably spare a few...

If you're not sure what they are, or maybe call them by a different name, this is the vegetable I mean.

Apparently they have potential as biofuel. Mine certainly convert readily to methane...

Baked they are gorgeous.

Lamb stew; saute onions, saute lamb, add one clove of garlic, two carrots and eight artichokes. Add stock and some red wine. Stew for four hours minimum.

Mash with potato?

You don't just mean baked in their jackets, do you. Because if you do, that's the one! I hate peeling them.

Yep. They taste fantastic. Really nutty.

You don't have to peel them for the stew either. The skin peels off when cooked.
