#todayIlearned…

That one can EAT DAHLIA TUBERS.

Not a joke. Apparently can be done.

The internet said so here, here and here.

So I tried it. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

Peel. As you would a potato (the skins are quite bitter, as i read.). And prepare as you would any potatoes.

These I wanted to try with some insanely fresh rosemary from Michael Fields… Sauteed some garlic, dumped in some butter and olive oil.. Added the tubers and some water. Covered, let it poach til tender. I did add some salt and pepper but not much.

Other weird yet delicious things on tonight’s menu:

~curried beef

~braised cabbage with fennel & caraway seeds and Serrano- tomato salsa.

~peanut butter cookies (thanks Krystal!) With cherry cordial kisses

Dinner was hella good, AND I LEARNED SOMETHING.
