Jerusalem artichoke souffle maybe sounds difficult but isn't when you follow this recipe. The Jerusalem artichoke tastes like a combination of cauliflower and potato. And when you make a soufflé of it, it becomes deliciously airy.
Today we ate a relatively unknown vegetable: Jerusalem artichoke. And that's a pity because a Jerusalem artichoke has got a wonderful flavor. The flavor of the Jerusalem artichoke is a combination of cauliflower with potatoes.
And that's a fine use of this vegetable, as a substitute for potatoes and cauliflower. But what is also very good, is a Jerusalem artichoke soufflé as a side dish. And below I described a delicious Jerusalem artichoke soufflé.
- A soufflé rises beautifully in the oven, but if you open it while baking, it will go down immediately. Keep the oven door closed!
- To stiffen your egg whites make sure that the equipment you're using is fat-free. Therefore wash them with hot water and detergent.
- You can substitute Jerusalem artichoke with parsnip or cauliflower.
- A soufflé is very sensitive to temperature changes. So when they come out of the oven, serve them immediately. You can't store them or freeze them.
