Mrs Growster has devised a superb way to take salsify into sublime regions...

Just take the roots, clean the up and avoid the staining bits with a lot of washing etc, and peel them down to the white parts.

Chop them into small chunks, and grind them down with a course Mouli grater into a bowl. Then add several chestnuts (raw), into the Mouli, and do the same. Put a little grated raw carrot into the mix, with some chopped celery - very small.

Move it around with a smattering of mayo, and you'll have the cruchiest, nuttiest salad you've ever eaten!

Very nice, it sounds a little like the remoulade without the celeriac.

I didn't grow any salsify this year as last year I needed a crow bar to make a hole along side it, to get it out of the ground   :blink:

Now I'm sorry

It's exactly that Argyllie, and I think it was one of your recipes which started off the train of events!

There is a downside KC, I've got a chestnut thorn in my finger, and it's giving me some gyp...
