Instructions
Cook the salsify: Place cleaned and peeled salsify in a pan with a good amount of butter. Cook on medium heat until starting to soften.
Simmer on low heat: Turn the heat down to the lowest setting, cover with a lid, and cook further, stirring every 5 minutes, until the salsify breaks down nicely.
Prepare spiced milk infusion: In a separate pan, add milk along with black peppercorns and coriander seeds. Let it infuse for the same duration as the salsify is cooking.
Strain spiced milk: Pass the infused milk through a strainer to remove the peppercorns and coriander seeds.
Blend the puree: Add the strained spiced milk to the cooked salsify and blend until smooth and creamy.
