Looks like ginger root to me . yummy

Kohala, it's not ginger root! I've looked it up (didn't think it would be in my dictonary at first) and it says: Jerusalem artichoke.

Ahhhhh - that makes more sense with the recipe. I used to use a lot of ginger in cooking, and was trying to imagine the flavors! This makes a lot more sense !!!! It does look like ginger root, tho, don't you think?

(BTW - I still get a big smilie every time I see that Fister pose!!!!!)

That is a strange looking root veggie. I think it is artichoke, just shaped differently. The rest of the recipe would go with plain artichokes.

I am not familiar with them, so looked them up. Here's a link:http://www.growinglifestyle.com/article/s0/a56671.html

Interesting, and apparently very deceptively named.

Thank you, I'd heard of this vegetable, but only in generic terms. I appreciate the additional info.

How funny! It certainly did look like ginger! LOL Where would I be able to pick up these Jerusalem artichokes? What do they taste like? I'm very interested in trying that recipe They certainly look different from the artichokes I'm used to (which I use to make a really yummy artichoke cheese dip! YUM!).

Perhaps I could find them at Whole Foods??

If anyone wants more Indian recipes, do let me know!

Kohala, thanks a lot for posting the link, it's very informative. I must admit, I've only just noticed these in Denmark. Someone made a dish with them and I really liked it, so I asked, but not all greengrocers here sell them. - I bet they're healthy too!

We have them on sale over here in the UK 0- perhaps it's a European veggie?

My uncle grew them in his garden for years - but I've never looked for them in stores. Perhaps they're just in "fancy" grocery stores ...

Ok here ya go I've got one but it's a beverage and it is non-alchoholic so do not worry or else a 12 year old would not be posting it:

Dr. Nog
(makes 48 servings)
4 quarts commercially prepared eggnog
1 bottle(2 liters)Dr. Pepper
ground nutmeg(optional)

Combine eggnog with Dr. Pepper. Pour into puch bowl. Sprinkle with nutmeg if desired. Pretty simple.

Dyed-To-Match-Punch
(makes about 60 servings)
4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
5 1/2 quarts water
2 cups bottled lemon juice
2 cans(12 ounces each) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed, undiluted
food color(optional)
1/4 cup hot water
1 bottle(i liter) ginger ale, chilled

In a large container, combine sugar, water, and lemon juice; stir until sugar dissolves. Stir in lemonade.To color punch, dissolve a few drops of food color in hot water; add to punch. Refigerate until serving time. Pour chilled punch into punch bowl. Add ginger ale just before serving.

This can also be created as slushy punch. Just make the recipe(without ginger ale) ahead of time and store in freezer. Thaw to slushy consistency before serving, then add ginger ale.

Does anybody have a recipe for a Mexican stuffed chilli? I had it once at an authentic Mexican restaurant and it was a big mild green chilli, stuffed with maybe cream cheese and some other things. Vague I know, but in the small hope

[AmberLee]

Miss Meow/Nicole -

I'm almost positive the recipe you want is Chili Rellano. It's a mild chili stuffed with cheese and baked. Mom loves it, but I'm allergic to it... I'm sure I can find the recipe, and will post it here unless someone beats me to it.

[toughCookie]

this is a good thread! I have a few recipes to share, and will try to post them in the near future... in a week or tow, have to get
them all together! my mother and grandmothers were/ are good cooks! and there are some recipes posted on here I can't wait to try!

According to the info I got from the link I found, they are not artichokes, and are a native north american tuber or root.
