We’re eating a shaved sunchoke salad marinated in a lemon, chive, whole grain mustard and truffle vinaigrette. Sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem Artichokes, are the tuber (aka root) of a species of sunflower. Their light, slightly sweet flavor and crispity, crunchity texture make them a perfect vegetable to use in slaws, pickles and salad. We thought they paired up great with the rest of our meal – seared sirloin and cumin roasted carrots.
