Sunchoke Mash

Sunchoke Mash is a creamy, nutty alternative to traditional mashed potatoes, made from sunchokes that provide a unique flavor and creamy texture. This Paleo-friendly dish is perfect for a wholesome lunch, packed with nutrients and flavor.

Ingredients

• Sunchokes - 500 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Unsweetened almond milk - 1/4 cup
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Wash and scrub the sunchokes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then peel them using a vegetable peeler.
2. Cut the sunchokes into uniform pieces and place them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
3. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
4. Once the sunchokes are tender, drain them and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the sautéed garlic, almond milk, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
5. Mash the sunchokes using a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with additional almond milk if desired.
6. Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
