Carve into 4 pieces and season lightly with rhubarb vinegar. Place the end piece at the back or underneath so a nice white slice of the flesh is exposed.
Rhubarb vinegar
Mix together , vac pac & leave out for a week to ferment. Then pass off for liquid.
Jerusalem artichoke crumble
Mix first five ingredients together, lay flat on trays and cook at 120C, 3 bar fan, 0%humidity, for around 45minutes to 1hr, mixing every 15 minutes until light golden and dry.
Coarsely grate the artichokes over a cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible, repeat with another cloth if necessary.
Transfer to a pot and cover with vegetable oil, bring to the boil and cook out on high heat, whisking constantly until it stops bubbling and they turn a light golden colour.
Working quickly, drain the artichokes and press out excess oil, transfer to a tray lined with a cloth and spread out as thinly as possible to stop the cooking.
Season lightly with salt and blend to panko texture.
