Ingredients

  • 400g salsify
  • juice 1 lemon
  • 150g unsalted butter
  • 500ml cider
  • handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Method

Peel the salsify and immediately place in a pan of cold water with the lemon juice. Bring to the boil and simmer until tender – around 10 minutes, depending on their size. Drain and cut into batons.

Add the butter to a saucepan and pan-fry the salsify until nicely coloured. Add the cider and allow it to reduce until the salsify is glazed and only a small amount of liquid remains. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle over the parsley.
