Jerusalem artichokes are well loved in the city but have actually got
nothing to do with it; not officially anyway. The name is a distortion
of the Italian name of this sunflower tuber, which has an artichoke like
flavour. From girasole articiocco to Jerusalem artichoke. The combination of saffron and whole lemon slices does not only make for a beautiful-looking dish, it goes exceptionally well with the nutty earthiness of the artichokes. This is easy to prepare. You just need to plan ahead and leave it to marinate properly.
