Sunchokes

Sunchokes.I didn’t like them before. I thought the smell is similar to rhinoceros beetle.Don't laugh. Seriously smells similar.
Anyways.
Now I like them.Good flavor specially with the skin.
You need a little bit of process to clean them since their shapes are so weird but it worth to take time.
I received bunch of them from my friend’s garden for my vegan dinner series “Far East ( check it out #fareastyvr)” and I got some leftovers then made potato salad.
Interesting texture & flavor, more bites than using regular potatoes.
For the vegan mayo, I used special iori from my recipe( secret.sorry..), but you can make mayo from soy milk or aquafava( chick pea liquid).I put some links below.
Those beans have proteins and other components those reacts similar to eggs does - making form / emulsifying.
