I've just dug out my salsify, which I've never grown or eaten before.  I tried it a couple of weeks ago, just boiled and peeled it but thought it was really tasteless, does anyone know of anything interesting to do with it, before I chuck it on the compost?

Thanks

pooor mans cabbage .steaming it apparantly makes it taste better ...me i reckon smothering it with curry wouldnt help it  :roll:

There is a thread further down about them, also can be done in batter for deep frying.

My mum always cooked it by peeling it which makes it go all sticky and then boiling and making a white sauce.  It was nice, but seemed like a lot of trouble for such a slim vegetable.I used to have to wash up the sticky dishes.

Never tried it but this sounds good : http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/roastedbeetrootandsa_86304.shtml

I've grown some scorzonera this year so might try it with some of that.
