For health reasons I have to avoid carbohydrates as much as possible on my menu. The Jerusalem artichoke tuber is a good substitute for potatoes, because it has hardly any carbohydrates and can be processed just like that. I even make my beloved Schnibbelkuchen (Reibekuchen) with it. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients for 3 servings

  • 3 medium sized Jerusalem artichoke tubers
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 medium onion diced (alternatively 1 tablespoon onion powder)
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch of pepper

preparation

  1. Peel the Jerusalem artichokes (I take a peeler). Then rub coarsely or finely on a potato grater. I rub her as it is for a Rhenish Schnibbelkuchen rude, but who prefers the finer variety of pancakes, of course, can also rub finely.
  2. Add egg, onion cube, flour, salt and pepper. Stir well and season to taste again.
  3. For each cake, heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a pan.
  4. Add 2 - 3 tbsp of the Jerusalem artichokes to the hot oil, spread out with a spoon from the center to a flat cake and bake on both sides until golden brown.
