What is a "skirret"?
Skirret is a root vegetable with a long history of cultivation, dating back to medieval times. It resembles a small, slender parsnip and has a sweet, nutty flavor with hints of carrot and celery. Skirret has a crunchy texture when raw, but becomes tender and slightly sweeter when cooked. It is commonly used in culinary applications and can be boiled, steamed, roasted, or stir-fried. Skirret is often added to soups, stews, and casseroles, or served as a side dish on its own.
