Try scrubbing some, cutting them into small pieces and whopping them up in a liquidiser with proper stock. While liquidising, I tend to bung in an onion, frehly-ground black pepper and celery seeds, as well as a scrape of nutmeg. That's all you need for a good, thick, nourishing soup. -- Rusty |

Or gently friend in butter when sliced thinly? To me they have a mildly nutty taste and I like them a lot. I like them roast, but I will never, ever, make soup with them again. It was disgusting! -- Kathy |

I'm afraid of mixing them with anything in case the dislike becomes contagious and spreads to stuff I mix them with -- http://www.gillsmith999.plus.com/ |

'nestling' (whoa!) on a bed of rice so they sort of got steamed -- http://www.gillsmith999.plus.com/ |

Scrubbed them well then steamed them, then served them mashed with butter, salt and pepper. Did you cook them until they were soft or did you leave them crispy? 'al dente' -- http://www.gillsmith999.plus.com/ |
