If you're looking for a unique and delicious root vegetable to add to your larder, look no further than Salsify, also known as the oyster plant. This versatile vegetable comes from the dandelion family and boasts a subtle, yet distinct flavour that pairs well with a variety of dishes.

To prepare salsify, start by scrubbing the root under a running tap to remove any soil. Then, peel the root using an industrial peeler or a very sharp knife. Cut the white flesh into equal lengths of 1-2 inches and place them in a bowl of cold water with half a lemon squeezed in to prevent browning.

Boil the prepared salsify in salty water for 20-30 minutes until it still has a slight bite to it. It's the perfect accompaniment to veal chops, a buttery pomme purée, and a rich red wine jus.

Salsify may not be a common sight in UK grocery stores, but it's well worth seeking out for its unique flavour and texture. Impress your dinner guests with this delicious and versatile vegetable and take your culinary creations to the next level. Order your salsify today and get ready to elevate your cooking game!
