FOOD DELICIOUS DISHES BY MIRIAM STREIMAN


A Knish Worth K’necting With No longer just a side dish


A knish, with its golden flaky pastry and full- flavoured cloud-like filing, is truly a deli- cious treat on its own or served accompany- ing a hearty meal. Tis recipe embraces giſts from the Ontario harvest, such as Jerusalem artichokes (or sunchokes) and pumpkin, that can be used in the place of the more traditional potato filling. Te sweet and earthy flavour of the Jerusalem artichokes, bright colour of the pumpkin and flecks of sage and roasted garlic held by a buttery puff pastry make for a delicious knish. Be adventurous and experiment with


other root vegetables you can cook throughout the cold winter months and support our local farmers at the same time! I love the Jerusalem artichokes, pumpkins and onions grown by Kawartha Ecologi- cal Growers. It always has interesting and delicious vegetables, a hearty selection of freshly milled flours, syrup, jams and other inspiring ingredients.
