Thank goodness for the Interwebs and information on how to store & cook the sunchokes, totally a new veggie in the house for us. We have an embarrassing number of apples, pears & kiwis – Christie has suggested cooking them all together for another fresh batch sauce, it has become a favorite sweet snack for her. I’m pondering the rather large number of carrots and considering if there’s enough to do some soup with them. I really like puréed carrot soups, so this might be a possibility. Might be a simple cabbage stir-fry this week or perhaps a borsht with the leftover red beets & and cabbage.
