Ingredients

• 500 grams Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly scrub the Jerusalem artichokes under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and texture, or peel them if preferred. Slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.

Step 2

Peel the fresh ginger and mince it finely. Mince the garlic cloves as well.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced Jerusalem artichokes to the skillet. Stir well to coat the slices evenly with the garlic and ginger mixture.

Step 5

Season the Jerusalem artichokes with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the artichokes cook gently for about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The artichokes should be tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Once the artichokes are tender, drizzle the lemon juice and honey over them. Stir to combine and let it cook uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary, with additional salt or pepper.

Step 9

Transfer the gingered Jerusalem artichokes to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish alongside roasted meats, grilled fish, or a hearty grain salad.
