Purple salsify is a common wildflower whose roots can be used as a vegetable (and are said to taste a little like
oysters). In modern times it has tended to be replaced by Spanish Salsify or Black Salsify as a cultivated crop.
Ingredients:
12
purple salsify roots, scraped, washed and cut into 2cm pieces
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp vinegar
300ml
Béchamel sauce
250g grated cheddar cheese
Method
Place the prepared salsify root into a basin of cold water containing lemon juice or vinegar. Leave for 2 hours then drain and cook in stock or seasoned water till tender (about 20 minutes).
Place a layer of the salsify in a shallow dish. Sprinkle with a layer of cheese, add a layer of béchamel sauce then another layer of salsify, cheese and béchamel. Finish with a layer of cheese on the top.
Place in an oven pre-heated to 190°C and bake for abut 20 minutes, or until heated through and browned on top.
