Our veg box delivered a bag of mud coloured roots a few months back with no note. After a little fishing around on the next we tracked them down as Salsify, a lovely root vegetable with a delicate flavour (some say oyster like but we're not convinced)
<br />
<br />Anyway we were clearing the fridge the other day and there was Salsify, Leeks, Chillies and a Ginger root. We'd made a rosti with the Salsify so knew the principle was sound.
<br />
<br />Peel and coarse grate Salsify (4/5 roots)
<br />Julienne leeks (3 smallish)
<br />Cook both in butter till soften but not to soft
<br />Set aside in a bowl
<br />
<br />Chop garlic, ginger, chilli finely (we used 1 big clove, 1 inch, and 1 chilli) and add to Salsify and Leek with an egg to bind
<br />Season well
<br />Cook as small rostis in butter and olive oil
<br />Rest briefly on kitchen paper to remove any excess fat
<br />
<br />Eat with pretty much anything
<br />
