2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (I used lemon-infused oil)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon flavoured oil*
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound sliced jerusalem artichokes, thoroughly scrubbed until skin is clean of dirt
1 apple, preferably honeycrisp
2 ounces grated cheddar
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup sprouts**
Preparation:
Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until salt has dissolved.
Thinly shave or slice the sunchokes and the apple.
Spread on a serving platter or individual appetizer plates.
Top with grated cheddar cheese and sprouts.
Drizzle on the dressing.
Garnish with sunflower sprouts and serve.
Notes:
*The original recipe called for 1 tsp chili oil + 1 tsp minced chili pepper but we left it out and used lemon-flavoured olive oil as the main oil instead.
** I didn't have sprouts so I served it on a bed of baby greens instead and sprinkled some spring onions on top.
