Scorzonera in butter sauce is a unique dish that pairs perfectly as an elegant side to many meals. It's not difficult to prepare, and the flavor can be pleasantly surprising.
Ingredients
5 scorzonera roots
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
salt to taste
Preparation
Peel the black skin from the scorzonera roots using gloves to avoid staining your hands. The roots darken quickly after peeling, so it's best to place them immediately into cold water with vinegar or lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Then, boil the roots in salted water until tender.
Meanwhile, heat butter in a pan, add breadcrumbs, and fry until golden brown, stirring until the breadcrumbs take on a brown shade.
Pour the breadcrumb butter sauce over the cooked scorzonera roots and serve as a delicious side dish.
