Jerusalem artichoke purée
This rich purée goes well with seafood, from seared scallops to pan-fried bass. It's also good with chicken, duck and pheasant. You could add a pinch of cayenne pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice at the end. It's a good one for Jerusalem artichokes because there's no need to peel – just give them a good scrub. This recipe is also great as the base of a risotto.

- juice of ½ lemon
- 500g Jerusalem artichokes, scrubbed well and roughly chopped
- 140ml double cream (or try using less cream and some milk instead)
