Sun chokes and Almond dip

I discovered Sunflower chokes recently and I fall in love with this vegetable root right away.
Sun chokes (called also Jersualem artichoke or sunflower chokes) look like ginger roots and have a sweet, nutty flavor, similar to water chestnuts. This is a very versatile food. It can be used both raw and cooked and make a delicious soup, puree, gratin or dip.
Sunchokes contain potassium, vitamin C, phosphorus and are a great source of iron.

For lunch yesterday I made some dip with them, topped on toasted garlic naan bread it was a delish!
