Jerusalem artichoke puree with carrot goulash

Total: 1 hr | Active: 1 hr

The Jerusalem artichoke puree is the big surprise of this dish. It gives the potato base a wonderful, smooth flavour all of its own. Jerusalem artichokes taste similar to regular artichokes but without the somewhat tedious cleaning procedure. In this recipe, we serve them with a vegetarian carrot goulash and vegan gravy. Perfect for a special occasion.
