I am a huge fan or Jerusalem artichokes and super excited to share this recipe with you. Jerusalem artichokes aka sun-chokes are packed with fiber which helps to lower blood sugar levels and keep you satiated for longer. I filmed a similar recipe with my friend Yalda for my IGTV a few months ago. You can check it out to see how we made it. In the IGTV we used a salsa verde sauce that Yalda made so the below sauce is a little bit different. Both are divine! I hope you guys enjoy – and just be mindful when eating these. They have a funny nickname – “fartichoke”. Due to the high fiber content of inulin (a non-digestible dietary fiber with strong prebiotic properties), they can cause gas and bloating in some people. That being said, enjoy as a side dish to this delicious Steamed Halibut.
