Preparation
- Step 1
Using a small regular or swivel-bladed paring knife, peel the artichokes. Cut them lengthwise in half and then into one-inch pieces. They will be irregular in shape. There should be about three cups.
- Step 2
Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the artichokes, curry powder, salt and pepper and stir. Add the raisins and chutney. Cook, stirring, about one minute.
- Step 3
Add the milk and cream and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until artichokes are tender but still slightly crisp. Serve.

Nice. I don't peel sunchokes, just scrub them thoroughly so that overall they're mostly beige -- dark bits are actually dirt, not variations in colour. The rest of the comment is just ingredient subs because of what was on hand (thin slices of celeriac and slightly thicker slices of jicama; dried blueberries for raisins; rhubarb-ginger jam instead of chutney; yogurt/coconut milk for dairy). Doesn't matter. Sunchokes are so good curried! Their flavour balances the curry & makes it more subtle.
Whole family loved this! I left out raisins, used coconut milk instead of the milk cream, and added a bit of lemon juice at the end.
I found this to be a lovely savory dish. I elected to use 1 cup 1/2 & 1/2 rather than the milk/heavy cream called for in the recipe and found it turned out fine. Lovely flavors. Will make it again.
