Jerusalem artichoke is known, among other things, under the names earth artichoke, earth apple, earth sunflower, or even “diabetic potato”. It resembles the potato, its taste is sweet and artichoke-like. Due to its high inulin content, an indigestible carbohydrate that does not affect blood sugar levels, it is ideal for diabetics.

Ingredients for 4 servings

-500 g chicken breast fillet
-1 small stick of leeks
-1 bay leaf
-2 large carrots
-150 g of celery
-750 g Jerusalem artichoke


-50 g of diced bacon
-3 tbsp butter
-Salt, pepper, nutmeg
-200 ml strong Instand vegetable broth
-100 ml apple juice
-4 tablespoons of flour
-200ml milk

Preparation

First cut the chicken breast fillet into small pieces. Then wash the carrots thoroughly, clean, peel, and cut into small sticks. Wash the celery carefully under running water, removing the leaves on the sides. Then cut the celery into slices. The leek is also washed, cleaned, and then cut into small rings. Set all the chopped vegetables aside. Now the Jerusalem artichoke is washed, peeled, and cut into small cubes. The bacon is now fried with 1 tablespoon of butter, then the chicken and Jerusalem artichoke are added and roasted.

The chopped celery and carrot pieces are now also added. Finally, the whole thing is seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. The apple juice and the instant broth are added. Bring everything to a boil over high heat. Then simmer gently over medium heat for about 30 minutes. It is important that the Jerusalem artichoke is soft at the end. Sweat the remaining butter, i.e. the 2 tablespoons of butter, with the flour until a dark yellow semi-solid mass is formed. Stir constantly with the whisk so that nothing burns. Then add the cold milk and let it boil. Pour the sauce into the stew while stirring and continue to cook for a few minutes.

Useful additional knowledge

When buying Jerusalem artichoke, you should definitely make sure that the skin is intact, because the vegetable is very sensitive. Varieties with particularly light skin have the best aroma and taste fine and nutty. Unlike potatoes, Jerusalem artichoke cannot be stored for long and is, therefore, best prepared soon after purchase. Jerusalem artichoke is a wonderful alternative to potatoes. Almost every dish that is prepared with potatoes can also be cooked with Jerusalem artichokes. The tuber is ideal for puree, gratins, soups, or salads.
