Tip of Stefano:
Salsify, the winter asparagus, black color, delicious taste and full of iron, fibers and vitamin C
Salsify is a versatile winter vegetable, and sometimes also called ‘the winter asparagus’ or ‘the poor man’s asparagus’. It does taste a bit like asparagus, but is in no way inferior. It does take a bit of work; they’re black and stain easily, moreover, the black color can really penetrate the skin of your hands.
Besides a delicious taste, they’re really good for you. They contain loads of iron, fibers and vitamin C. In addition, it is said that they have a beneficial effect on your intestinal flora. When buying them, make sure they feel firm and are not dehydrated. In the following recipe, we peel them before cooking, but you can also cook them first and peel afterwards. Even then you should wear gloves.
