Sunchokes (aka Jerusalem Artichokes) look like ginger root but don't be fooled. Although available year-round, prime season is from October to April. Choose smooth, clean, unblemished, firm tubers with a minimum of bumps. Sunchokes may be eaten raw or cooked.
You can cook them anyway you might cook potatoes; boil, saute, bake. I cut the sunchokes into chunks and roasted them with oil, salt, and whole garlic cloves. They were very good. And reminded me of the taste of sunflower seeds. My brother, the baseball player, would love them!
