There is enough misery in the world without having to peel Jerusalem artichokes. I can't imagine that the perceived advantage of peeling is worth the pain. We're big fans of this recipe, skins on.
Couldn't agree more.
Added about a third of a cup of roughly chopped mixed pitted olives into the tomatoes. Quite a nice touch. Will try not peeling the sunchokes next time.
Cooked it again. I did peel the artichokes. Much better! They become the size of a ping pong ball.
I bought Jerusalem artichokes at the Farmer's Market for the first time. The seller told me it was not necessary to peel them. I can't wait to try this recipe--artichokes unpeeled.
