About Salsify, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt
Salsify is an old-fashioned root vegetable that deserves a comeback, valued for a subtle flavor so reminiscent of oysters that it earned the nickname oyster plant. The long, slender, cream-colored roots have a mild, sweet, slightly nutty taste and a tender texture once cooked. Salsify is a good source of dietary fiber, including the prebiotic inulin that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, along with potassium, vitamin C, and a range of minerals.
Peeled roots discolor quickly, so drop them into acidulated water with a splash of lemon juice or vinegar as you work. From there they can be boiled, roasted, sauteed in butter, mashed, or simmered into a silky soup. A cool-season crop harvested through fall and winter, salsify is a natural partner for hearty stews and roasts. Look for firm, unblemished roots, store them unwashed in the refrigerator, and give them a good scrub before peeling to enjoy this gently sweet, underappreciated vegetable.
