Preparation method
- Thoroughly clean the skins of the Jerusalem artichoke with a metal sponge.
- Cut in half lengthwise and toss with oil and salt.
- Roast the pieces cut side down on a roasting tray at 160°C in the oven, until they are a deep, golden brown.
- In the meantime, put all the remaining ingredients into a pot, and bring to a boil.
- Deglaze the roasted Jerusalem artichoke with the pickling liquid, making sure you clean the entire tray for all the roasting flavour.
- Seal into vacuümbags or jars, and allow to mature for at least a week.
