Cooking Group: Unknown vegetables

On Northend Road Market we found vegetables we have never seen before!  So I decided to make a three-course-strange-vegetable-cook-in.






Taro Root
Picture from here
They taste like potatoes but more intensive. The crisps we made were very good!

Recipe









Bitter Melon/Gourd/Squash
We made a Risotto with it which tasted good – without bitter melon. The flavour of this vegetable is … bitter!!!




Chayote
The flavour is difficult to describe, one can say between courgette and pear. Especially tepid a pleasure!
