Recipes from Oil & Vinegar

Nice to know

Forgotten vegetables are those ancient varieties for which the cultivation or preparation, or both, was complicated. For example, parsnip, salsify, turnips and Jerusalem artichokes. Salsify used to be known as housemaid’s tears because of the sticky sap that is released from the peel.

For a long time, the horticulture sector wanted to innovate and went in search of faster and more stable growing vegetable crops. At the same time, consumers wanted to spend less and less time preparing food and the preference increasingly switched to fresh vegetables that could be quickly prepared and vegetables from a jar or can, or that were deep-frozen.

However, over the last 10 years, a counter-trend has grown up: the catering and hospitality industry has rediscovered the favorites of old, and consumers too have begun cooking more elaborately and more traditionally. The tastes and flavors of forgotten vegetables are easy to combine and create a nice surprise on the table.
