Re: jicama> induction friendly?

Jicama looks like a turnip. Do not store in a plastic bag as it will rot. It is alot like a potato but it tastes fantastic, sweet and crunchy and lots of water in it. It is better raw then cooked, even my kids love it

Moch oatmeal is the BOMB!!!
...and can be made induction friendly. Mmmm.
Jicama is yummy and a great snack, good on salads, good for all kinds of things.
Next to jicama moch oatmeal my 2nd fav is jicama w/ just a little lemon juice squirted on top. Very refreshing!

Re: jicama> induction friendly?

Off the top of my head, it goes something like this:
Chop up 2 cups jicama, cover w/ water (twice as much water as jicima).
Boil until half water is gone - like 1/2 as much water as you have jicama (hope that makes sense, LOL).
Then add about 1/2 cup heave cream, splenda and cinnomon to taste. You can also add about 2 tbsp of butter - sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Tastes good both ways. Then boil that until the liquid is about 1/2 gone.
Then pulse in food processor until it's the consistancy of oatmeal. I usually add a few spoonfuls of faxmeal, it gives it more gooey consistancy, like oatmeal.
When off induction it tasts good to add some slivered almonds, pecans or walnuts..
I woulddn't suggest eating the whole thing - for one - too many carbs but also that's a LOT of fiber.. if you get my drift. LOL

I slice jicama into thin strips
and fry it in butter or peanut oil, then sprinkle with a little cinnamon.

A few tips...let the sliced jicama sit on a paper towel for a while to absorb some of the moisture.

As they are getting close to being "done", there is a very small window of time between ready and burned, although I like them a tiny bit burned, so keep your eye on it. They start slow but at the end it goes fast.

I fry in a pan, don't have a fryer.

Re: jicama> induction friendly?

Cool thanks girl!!
I can't wait!

I'm notorious for burning things, so thanks for the heads up there too!! LOL

I should have mentioned before with the jicama oatmeal - don't let all of the water boil down because it will burn and not only does it REALLY stink but it stained by stainless steel pot!!

Re: jicama> induction friendly?

jicama is a wonderful vegetable, just don't eat too much.

I eat it cold. To me it reminds me of apple, a little less sweet - but cool and crunchy. I didn't know what it was either when I started - now it's my favorite!

Re: jicama> induction friendly?

Yes it reminds me of a mix between an apple and a raw potato.

See, all this talk of jicama, now I really have to go buy some! lol
