Description
Gave me a black root or as it is called, "Spanish Salsify". I have already heard from him that boiled salsify is a delicious delicacy, reminiscent of asparagus, and called "winter asparagus". But I've never seen or tried. And also heard that it is very difficult to clean it well, etc. etc. and some suffer the Internet, I found all that I need - and in fact, it turned out that nothing difficult here, if you know how. So decided to post. Maybe useful to someone.

Cooking
And here is the root, it looks like even the shape of asparagus, only black. Most importantly, before you start to clean it, you need to wear gloves. Otherwise hands Yeshe long launder. To prepare a Cup of water into which you pour vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice. The water must be very acidic because the root quickly tarnishes in air. So, it is good to wash the salsify, I used the brush.
Then clear, the principle as sparge. Only the table in front of it is also better to lay a paper, then to not wash stuck cleaning.
Potatoes, celery and leeks peel and chop.
In a saucepan, heat the rust. lightly oil and then the leeks and Caldera. Add the potatoes, Bay leaf and pour the hot broth or water. Bring to boil and boil 5 minutes.
Add black root, cut into slices and pour the milk. After boiling, reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes, until tender.
To whip the cream. Grind the soup in a blender. Add the cream, Cayenne pepper, lemon juice and salt. I threw a little bit of sugar and a whisper of nutmeg.
When serving, sprinkle with walnuts and greens.
