To make Braised Salsify with Maple Walnuts
Peel your salsify, and cut it 3" long chunks
Steam it for about 10 minutes, or until knife tender. I steamed mine in my Ninja Foodi but however you steam veg is fine.
Drain and dry on paper towel.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan and add the salsify.
Saute on all sides until it is golden in colour.
Add the walnuts and maple syrup to the pan and quickly toss everything together.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and season for taste.
I love to serve this on a bed of leaves, but it also makes a delicious side dish.
To make Air Fryer Salsify Chips
Cut your prepared salsify into thin rings.
Soak in a bowl of cold salt water for 15 minutes. This removes the starch and prepares them better for crisping.
Preheat Air Fryer to 190c.
Drain and dry your salsify rings on kitchen paper.
Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper and spray with a little oil
Arrange in your air fryer in one layer, and cook for between 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Repeat if you have more salsify to cook.
Serve!
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
