Ingredients
Scale
1 pound of sunchokes, scrubbed and peeled
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
½ cup of vegetable or chicken broth
½ cup of heavy cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: Fresh herbs like thyme or chives for garnish
Instructions
Prep the Sunchokes: Start by scrubbing the sunchokes under running water to clean them. Once cleaned, peel off the skins.
Cut and Boil: Chop your peeled sunchokes into bite-sized pieces. Add them to a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender.
Sauté the Aromatics: While the sunchokes are boiling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent. Then, throw in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Combine and Caramelize: Once your sunchokes are done, drain them and add them to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to caramelize slightly.
Blend It Up: Transfer the caramelized mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the broth and heavy cream. Blend until completely smooth.
Season to Taste: Taste your puree and season it with salt and pepper. Customize to your palate, adding fresh herbs or spices if desired.
Serve Warm: Transfer the puree to a serving bowl. Add a drizzle of olive oil or sprinkle of fresh herbs on top.
