Directions

1
Fill a large bowl with cold water. Add vinegar and 2 tablespoons of flour and mix. Brush black salsifies vigorously under running cold water, peel and immediately place in the prepared flour vinegar water.
2
Wash the lemon thoroughly, grate dry and finely grate half the peel. Halve the lemon and squeeze it. Boil up salted water in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and black salsify, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until firm to the bite.
3
Pluck the bread into pieces and grind in the universal chopper. Grate parmesan, mix with toast crumbs. Wash herbs, dab dry, pluck leaves from the stalks and chop. Melt butter, dust with 1 tbsp. flour and sweat.
4
Add stock, milk, lemon peel and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice, bring to the boil and season to taste with lemon juice, salt, pepper and sugar. Stir in the herbs, except for something to sprinkle. Grease 1 large or 2 small casserole dishes.
5
Lift the black salsifies out of the stock, allow to cool slightly. Cut the ham in half lengthwise. Halve the black salsifies if necessary. Wrap each of 3-4 pieces of black salsify with 2 half slices of ham and place in the mould or moulds.
6
Pour sauce over it and sprinkle with Parmesan toast crumbs. Grill under the hot grill of the oven for 2-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove, sprinkle with remaining herbs and serve.
