Salsify
Origin: Tidewater Virginia
Source: Mary Randolph, 1824
Ingredients
- salsify roots
- salt
- water
Instructions
- Scrape and wash the roots, and put them into boiling water with salt.
- When done, drain them, and place them in the dish without cutting them up.
- They are a very excellent vegetable, but require nicety in cooking; exposure to the air, either in scraping or after boiling, will make them black.
