Savory Burdock Sauté
Burdock looks funny but tastes fabulous. Here’s a recipe repeat requested by a prior client.
- 1 onion, peeled
- 1 large burdock root
- 2 large carrots
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of seasalt (optional)
- 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- Fresh minced parsley
Trim ends, scrub, wash, and chop the vegetables. Scrub the burdock root particularly well (or peel it if you must). Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté veggies together with a pinch of seasalt on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add sesame oil and sauté for one minute more. Add 1/4 inch of water to the hot skillet, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat. Check regularly for doneness to make sure veggies aren’t overly soft. Sprinkle parsley on top and stir once to mix.
