Oyster-plant or Salsify

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Scrape the salsify thoroughly and place it in cold water immediately to prevent discoloration.

  2. Bring a china-lined kettle of water to a boil.

  3. Add the salsify and boil until tender, about 1 hour or less.

  4. Optionally, cut the salsify into 2-inch lengths before boiling.

  5. Once tender, drain the salsify well and dress it according to your preferred recipe.
