- 1 tbsp chopped chives
- 2 tbsp caper

Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and add lemon juice.
- Wash and peel salsify, and cut them into 5 cm/2inch. Place immediately in lemon water.
- Cook them in lemon water for 10 minutes, then drain them.
- Mix them together with olive oil, salt and pepper and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Notes
I would recommend you washing and peeling salsify roots under running water. This will help you keep your hands from getting sticky from the sap (see picture above).
