Breakfast Hash with Apples and Sunchokes
Weekend breakfasts offer the time for creating a satisfying meal. When it comes to hash, one can include any number of ingredients, such as squash or sweet potatoes, and even topping it with a poached egg for more protein. In our version, we added sunchokes (also called Jerusalem artichokes) for a lovely texture and flavour that’s perfect for the season. [callout]

Tips

  • Breakfast Hash is also delicious as a filling for omelettes or large, thin crepes.
  • Sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes, are a bit like a cross between a water chestnut and a potato. They’re so easy to prepare, since you don’t need to peel; just scrub clean and slice or dice. In a pinch, you can substitute with canned water chestnuts.
