greg and i were trying to think of ways to incorporate jerusalem articokes into work. since we can't use potatoes at work, we often times use other root veggies to make chips, fries and other thing you would use potatoes for. greg decided to make chips out of the jerusalem articokes to make chips. i did some research and found this recipe.

instead of frying the chips, greg baked them on a low heat for a while. they crisped up quite nicely, especially after the second baking time.
the dip was really easy to make. it is quite like an aoli or emulsion. and as greg's friend eric would say, it will make you lots of friends.
the bosses really liked the chips and dip, and asked that we make it for the next dinner party they have.
interesting notes about jerusalem artichoke... they are neither from jerusalem nor are they articokes... they are actually the root of a sunflower and are often times called sunchokes. the reason they got the name "jerusalem artichokes" is because the italian name for sunflour is girasole, which sounds like jerusalem, thus jerusalem artichokes...
and that ends the food lesson for today. we are going back to florida today, so maybe i'll post something interesting from there!
