I didn't know what the they where but somebody gave me some and I just peeled it, cut it up and steamed it, but you could totally throw this into all sorts of casseroles, soups, roasts or hangi it's really nice! Not too strong of a flavour kind of like a potato with a celery-like tinge, 10/10 will have more often ๐
Update: apparently they turn to mush if you roast them
Oh! That sounds like something I need to try then, I had very little luck with Celtuce; planted a whole row of it and got maybe 3 thin stalks :)
We found celtuce did better in semi shady spots, or earlier in the season (like brassicas). Weโve got some growing slowly outdoors now.
Ah interesting, do you direct sow them? I should still have half a bag of seed from last year and i've got a good shadey spot I can plant in.
Weโve had pretty good luck starting them off in the greenhouse and transplanting. The birds seem to go for them as seedlings when we direct sow. Good luck.
