Preparation method
- Wash the celeriac thoroughly under cold running water, using a brush and pairing knife to get rid of any sand.
- Place in simmering water and cook for one hour or until you can pass a knife through the celeriac with ease.
- Warm the butter in the pan and fry the whole celeriac. You’ll need to baste the celeriac continually.
- Add in the thyme and rosemary.
- Allow the butter to become quite nutty but not black.
- Baste until the colour of the celeriac is a nice brown colour.
- Remove from the frying pan and leave to rest.
Serving suggestions
- As part of a composition e.g. with chanterelles, onion sauce and ramson.
- Use in a composition with components of walnut, chives, and sour dough.
- Delicious with olive, daikon radish, and couscous.
