(1)

In this recipe, salsify root is pan-roasted in ghee to give you an elegant dish to accompany your meal. Salsify may be grungy looking, but that dirty exterior hides a delightful flavor. The mix of black, green, white, and red peppercorns gives the dish a unique dimension of flavor. Use gloves when handling salsify to avoid the sticky juice getting on your hands.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ teaspoons multicolored peppercorns

  • 1 ½ pounds salsify roots

  • 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Directions

  1. Roughly crush peppercorns in a mortar. Set aside.

  2. Use rubber gloves at all times while preparing salsify. Rinse and scrub salsify under running water to eliminate dirt. Peel with a vegetable peeler and rinse again. Cut into 3-inch pieces. Cut lengthwise in half or even in quarters, so pieces are 3 inches long and 1/4 inch thick.

  3. Melt ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sea salt and crushed peppercorns. Add salsify pieces and cover. Cook until browned, flipping pieces as needed, about 15 minutes. Place on a serving plate and top with dill before serving.
