Nutritional values

Black salsifies, with their black earthy skin, do not appear very attractive at first glance. But they have a lot to offer for our health - namely a lot of inulin. This soluble dietary fibre can lower an increased blood sugar level and ensure a balanced intestinal flora. Together with the very low fat and calorie content, the high fibre content makes black salsify an extremely figure-friendly treat.

Black salsify is a typical winter vegetable that can be found from October to April, mainly at the weekly market, but also in supermarkets and greengrocery stores.

Preparation steps

1.

Rinse lemon in hot water, wipe dry and finely grate zest. Squeeze juice from lemon. Add half of the juice to a large bowl of water.

2.

Rinse the salsify, peel and halve lengthwise. Add to the lemon water.

3.

Rinse the scallions and slice on an angle into thin rings. Coarsely chop the walnuts.

4.

Remove the salsify from the water. Cook in a pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Remove the salsify with a slotted spoon and divide between 4 plates. Tip: The salsify may also be cooked in a steamer.

5.

While the salsify is cooking, warm the broth in a pot on the stove. Stir in the lemon zest, remaining lemon juice, scallions, walnuts, oil and honey. Stir until thoroughly comined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture over the salsify and allow to marinate for 5 minutes.

Slice the goat cheese into rounds and place on top of the salsify.
