Ingredients
- 1kg jerusalem artichokes
- 2tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 1tbsp capers
- dill, to serve
For the dip
- 250g roasted red peppers, from a jar
- 1tsp smoked paparika
- 200g feta
- lemon, zested and juiced
- 2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
- STEP 1
Tip the artichokes into a pan and cover with cold water. Season the water with salt and bring to a boil over a medium heat. Cook for 10 mins, or until a knife can easily pierce the skin, then drain and steam-dry in the colander for 5 mins. Toss the artichokes in 1 tbsp olive oil and some seasoning.
- STEP 2
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the artichokes onto a large, heavy baking tray. Use the base of a glass to squash each, cracking open the skin to to create lots of crispy bits as it cooks. Toss with the garlic cloves, then drizzle everything with another 1 tbsp olive oil and cook for 30 mins.
- STEP 3
Remove the garlic from the tray and add the capers. Return to the oven for another 15-20 mins until the artichokes are crisp and golden.
- STEP 4
Meanwhile make the dip by blitzing the peppers, paprika, feta, lemon zest and juice and the extra virgin olive oil in a food processor. Squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, add to the mixture and blend again. Check the seasoning and adjust if you like – the feta will be salty, so you may not need extra salt.
- STEP 5
Spread the dip over a plate, top with the crispy artichokes and capers, then scatter over the dill.
