    Title: Sunchokes Au Gratin
    Categories: Vegetarian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    Sunchokes
    White sauce
    Cheese; grated
    Butter
    Salt
    Pepper
    Nutmeg
    Lemon juice; a few drops
    Dried bread crumbs
    1 sm Spanish onion;
    - grated (optional)

    Peel some artichokes and with a vegetable cutter shape them into
    little balls (the size of a large marble) and cook them in salted
    water until they begin to get tender, then drain them at once and put
    them into a saucepan containing some warm butter, which has been
    seasoned with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and a few drops of lemon juice;
    cover the pan and let them simmer for about 10 minutes. Prepare a
    thick white sauce and add 1 tb mild, grated cheese to each 1 cup;
    pour a small quantity of the sauce over a buttered gratin dish and
    arrange the artichokes in it, then cover them with the remainder of
    the sauce; pour the remains of the butter in which the artichokes
    were cooked over the top and scatter over it a moderately thick layer
    of finely sifted, dried bread-crumbs mixed with half the quantity of
    grated cheese, and bake in a quick oven until evenly browned.

    If the flavour of onion is not objected to, a small, well-boiled
    Spanish onion passed through a sieve and added to the sauce is an
    improvement to the dish.
