The New World has given us corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, peppers, avocados, potatoes, cocoa beans – foods that we can’t imagine our lives without today. At the same time, it also gave us Jerusalem artichokes. But unlike its compatriots, the Jerusalem artichoke did not make much of a name for itself in the culinary arts. Vladimir Pavlov thinks that we should give this unassuming, strange-looking supporting actor the respect that it deserves. Jerusalem artichokes are nutritious, rather interesting, and of course very tasty. RTG’s chef and host will make Jerusalem artichoke fritters and serve them with mackerel rillettes and a green country salad. This dish is unusual, quick, simple, and simply delicious.
