Salsify, or Vegetable Oyster

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Boil salsify until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. Serve plain, or fry in oil until golden brown.

  3. Alternatively, prepare fritters using boiled salsify mixed with batter and fry until crispy.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
