12 Ways with Salsify

Salsify, a winter root with a delicate, creamy texture, shines in both crisp and tender dishes. It is sometimes called the "oyster plant" for its subtle, slightly briny flavor. Try Salsify Fritters for a golden, crunchy treat or Salsify with Cider and Ham Hock for a rich, savory dish. It also adds depth to a Salad of Sprout Tops, Salsify and Ham Hock. Gently poach or steam before finishing with butter, herbs or a light sauce.
