Recipe Scallops with Jerusalem Artichoke Veloutée and Coffee, Black Cardamom and Walnut Crumb

[Morning Glory]

When I was forced to give up my beloved Marlboro reds 7/8 years ago, two predominant things happened.
1, after a while the true flavor of food was more apparent.
2, this changed my cooking style dramatically. I prefer simplicity now.
Glory your plate looks splendid and shows your skills. In a heartbeat if you cooked it for me I would scoff the lot, but if I had the scallops I would stop at your great looking sear.

Thank you, kind Sir.

This looks gorgeous. Glad this recipe resurfaced. I've never heard of Jerusalem artichokes before though. Is it mainly used for flavoring or can it be cooked as a dish on its own as well?

It's a root vegetable and can be cooked steamed, boiled or roasted or made into an 'au gratin' dish, added to stews. Really, you can do loads of things with them. I used them in this warm salad - but they can be eaten in cold in salad too.
