Sunchoke Gratin image

What's a sunchoke, you might ask? It's a Jerusalem artichoke, part of the sunflower family. They are gnarly and have a nutty flavor. This gratin will work well with any starchy root vegetable, such as potato, parsnip, turnip, or with fennel. Adapted from a local chef, James McDevitt.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups heavy cream
2 lbs jerusalem artichokes, peeled (sunchokes)
butter
2 cups gruyere cheese, grated
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Reduce cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat by about 1/3. Slice sunchokes very thin with a mandolin or in a food processor.
  • Butter a small casserole or 8 inch square baking dish. Arrange a thin layer of sunchokes. Top with a few spoonfuls of cream, a few spoons of both cheeses, salt and pepper. Continue layering until you have used all the sunchokes. The top layer should be cheese.
  • Bake 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife. Run under the broiler for a few minutes to brown top, if desired.
