In a pickle about how to enjoy your celeriac? Want to wow the family this dinnertime with a winter vegetable showstopper guaranteed to impress? Try this whole roasted celeriac served with zesty, nutty creme fraiche - recipe courtesy of our guest ODDBOX chef Camille @callherchef!
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 2 hours
Ingredients:
*1 celeriac
*50 ml olive oil
*Flaked sea salt
*2 tbsp creme fraiche
*Juice of ½ lime
*1 tbsp pine nuts
*½ bunch parsley
*2 cloves of garlic
*½ bunch of thyme
*1 tbsp harissa paste
Method:
1) Preheat the oven to 170C. Wash and scrub the celeriac under cold water.Keep the skin but discard the airy roots. Pat dry with a clean tea towel.
2) Pierce the celeriac with a fork all over and place in a bowl with the olive oil and salt. Rub the celeriac all over with the oil mixture and place on a baking tray, lined with thyme.
3) Roast for about 2 hours or until deeply browned and soft all the way through - depending on the celeriac size. Every 30 minutes, use a spoon to wet the celeriac with the hot olive oil in a baking tray. When cooked, leave to rest for 15 minutes and cut in wedges.
4) Place the pine nuts, parsley, lime juice and garlic in a food processor. Blend to a pesto consistency and mix with the creme fraiche. Serve with the roasted celeriac and some harissa paste.
