I've grown a reasonable crop of salsify on my allotment this year and
harvested some for Christmas. Unfortunately, it went uneaten on
Christmas day as we didn't have time to peel it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for easier ways of preparing salsify?

Peel it - alas. Cut into strips. Parboil in salt water until soft. Drain.
Coat with egg and breadcrumbs and fry in a little olive oil.

Serve with steak.

Not easy, but well worth the trouble....but I'm the appreciative diner - not
the cook.

The same recipe for scorzonera.
