Roasted Maitake

Salsify Purée

Tokyo Turnips

Pine Nuts

Fresno Pepper

Salsa Verde

Method

Roasting the Maitake

1

Prepare the Maitake

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Clean the maitake mushrooms and tear them into bite-sized pieces.

2

Season and Roast

Toss the maitake with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Making the Salsify Purée

3

Prepare the Salsify

Peel and chop the salsify into small pieces. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.

4

Blend the Purée

Drain the salsify and place in a blender. Add butter, heavy cream, and salt, then blend until smooth. Set aside.

Preparing the Tokyo Turnips

5

Cook the Turnips

Slice the Tokyo turnips in half and toss with olive oil and salt. Sauté in a pan over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes.

Toasting the Pine Nuts

6

Toast the Pine Nuts

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Making the Salsa Verde

7

Blend the Salsa Verde

In a food processor, combine parsley, capers, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and season with salt to taste.
