Preparation
Step 1
Peel the Jerusalem artichokes, and cut into equal cubes for even cooking. Sauté over high heat for 1 minute in a pot to pop flavors. Add the chicken broth to the artichokes, and the thyme, and simmer over medium heat for about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 2
Cut 8 to 12 slices (2 to 3 per person) of bread, and grill 10 minutes at 400 ° F. When the slices are toasted, put drops of essential oil with mint in a small container, and brush the slices quickly with a pastry brush.
Step 3
- When the artichokes are cooked, mix them with salt, pepper, and cream. Puree if you like.
- Serve immediately, with nuts on top and mint croutons.
- Mint blends well with the artichoke!
