Jerusalem Artichoke with Pickled Onions and Hazelnuts
Here are the ingredients you'll need:
- About half a Jerusalem artichoke per person (1 if they are small)
- Half an onion
- A handful of roasted hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- The juice of a lemon
- A couple of pomegranate seeds (optional)
Here's the method:
-
Slice the onion finely.
-
Place the slices in an empty jam jar or a glass.
-
Zest and juice the lemon on the onions (ideally wait about 15 minutes before using it. It will keep very well in the fridge if you don’t use everything).
-
Roast the hazelnuts in a pan (about 5 minutes without oil) and let them cool down.
-
In a plate or small bowl, mix a tablespoon of lemon juice (more or less according to your taste) and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
-
Peel the Jerusalem artichokes, and slice them very finely. Place the slices in the lemon and olive oil mix as you go to prevent them from browning.
-
Once you’ve sliced everything, drizzle with a bit more olive oil (we say A LOT).
-
Add the pickled onions, the pomegranate seeds and the roasted hazelnuts roughly crushed.
Bon appétit!
