'Forgotten' veggies, what are those exactly??

So-called 'forgotten' vegetables are vegetables that were once very common, but are rarely used nowadays. (although, what is rarely used in some places, might be quite common somewhere else...)

Some examples of forgotten veggies (and this is by no means a complete list):

Parsnip (pastinaak)

Jerusalem artichoke / Topinambur (aardpeer)

(Swiss) Chard (snijbiet)

Black salsify (schorseneren)

Purslane (postelein)

Rettich (rammenas)

similar to the Japanese Daikon

Common Glasswort (zeekraal)

Common Sea-lavender (lamsoor)

Turnip tops / turnip greens (raapstelen)

Turnip (meiraapjes/knolraap)



Swede / rutabaga (koolraap)



Kohlrabi (koolrabi)

Celeriac (knolselderij)

Creamy beef and fennel

What you need (2 servings):
- (olive) oil
- approx. 250g beef in strips
- 1 carrot, finely sliced
- 1 fennel bulb, cut in strips
- 1 onion, cut in half rings
- 1/2 clove of garlic, pressed
- approx. 100ml creme fraiche
- dried herbs de Provence
- salt, pepper

Stirfry the beef in some (olive) oil. Add the sliced carrot and cook a few minutes before adding the fennel, garlic and onion. Stir in the creme fraiche after about 6 mins. Cook for a few more minutes and season to taste with salt, pepper and herbs de Provence.
Serve with panfried potatoes.
