I had picked up\u00a0my weekly\u00a0vegetable &amp; fruit bag from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.growingcommunities.org\">Growing Communities<\/a>, and could not even be bothered putting the food away. I am always curious of the newsletter inside the bag and I could see there was a salsify sticking out of the bag, the first time we got these\u00a0in the bag\u00a0this winter. The newsletter always has a simple recipe, this one was for a salsify fritter. That&#8217;s it, I was hooked, forgotten the frozen hands and the &#8216;tiredness&#8217;!\u00a0 I followed the instructions: grated salsify, sweated, mixed with one egg, herbs, garlic and fried&#8230; delicious. I used it as\u00a0accompaniment to my very simple chunky vegetable &amp; 1 piece of chicken broth which takes no time to prepare (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/?p=1615\" target=\"_blank\">earlier post<\/a>). The fritters were delicious especially straight out of the pan when they are still warm and crisp&#8230; The salsify does not have a very strong flavour. Like most root vegetables, it only gets sweeter as you cook it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1697\" title=\"Salsifi and grated salsifi\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-002-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-002-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-002-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-004.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1699\" title=\"Mix\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-004-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-004-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-004-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1700\" title=\"the fritters\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-005-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-005-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-005-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1698\" title=\"the recipe\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-007-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-007-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/28-Jan-11-007-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did not want to cook yesterday evening&#8230; I got home with frozen hands and feet,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,24],"tags":[289],"class_list":["post-1696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipes","category-winter","tag-salsify","comments-open","no-comments"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1696"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1704,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1696\/revisions\/1704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
