what to do with.... celeriac

tsuzmir

I have access to large amount of celeriac I can get very cheap. Any idea what could I make/how to preserve this unusual veg? Thanks

Rachel Khoo of The Little Paris Kitchen made an apple and celeriac salad which I found really refreshing and works amazing with grilled meat, or picnic.

Celeriac and Apple Salad
8oz celeriac, grated (fine matchsticks rather than traditional grater give best result)
1 dessert apple, grated, as above
5 tbsp sunflower oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 heaped tsp grainy mustard
a pinch of sugar
salt & pepper


Put celeriac and apple in a bowl. Mix the rest of the ingredients together and pour the vinaigrette over the apple and celeriac, and toss together. Taste for seasoning.

It is lovely mashed either on its own or mixed with mashed potato.

I also have roasted it using this recipe

Mashed or salad, as mentioned above. Celeriac soup is lovely, too. My mum used to parboil slices of celeriac which were then breaded and shallow fried, yumm! A bit like this: http://hawthornevalleyfarm.org/recipe/breaded-and-fried-celeriac

It's great in soup. One of my staple soups is celeriac with onion, celery, leek, carrot, parsnip and fennel seeds. One time I came back from a big shop and realised I forgot to buy it and the soup was just meh

I've made this Jamie Oliver recipes a few times and it's really really tasty:

Also celeriac makes great rosti - either mixed with just apple or with potato and apple.

its much better puréed rather than mashed. So peel, cut into cubes, boil till tender and then use a boat motor (hand blender) to puree with warm milk, butter, salt and pepper and nutmeg.

it so good with steak, roast beef, duck, or lamb.

Great with scallops too.

Love celeriac! Its so tasty.

That's what's usually called a remoulade

And there was me calling such things 'slaw'!

Isn't remoulade a sauce, rather like Tartar Sauce?

Some people make chips out of it too.

A slaw could be any vegetables sliced finely and bound usually with an emulsion sauce

Don't think so, dude. Remoulade is, generally, a mayonnaise-based sauce with chopped pickles and suchlike in it. Celeri remoulade is a dish of celeriac in a mustard remoulade sauce.

I think its both. Used to refer to the salad and the sauce.
