Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 7 min.

Peel the celeriac, rinse and cut into approximately 1/2 inch (1 cm) dice.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Heat 1.8 oz Clarified butter in a large frying pan on high heat. When really hot, add the diced celeriac.

Stir to make sure that all the celeraic is well coated with butter, then turn down the heat.

Stage 3 - 15 min.

Fry the celeriac until evenly browned all over.

Tip out onto a plate and set aside.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Prepare 2 shallots and chop finely.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Put the frying pan back on high heat with 4 tablespoons olive oil. When really hot, add the chopped shallots, salt and pepper, then cook for 1 or 2 minutes without colouring.

Stage 6 - 4 min.

Pour in 8.8 oz liquid cream, mix and bring to the boil.

Stage 7 - 4 min.

Add 2 tablespoons French mustard, mix well and bring back to the boil.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Turn down the heat and add the diced celeriac...

Stage 10

Serve either as the main dish with cous-cous (as shown in the photo), rice, potatoes or polenta, or to accompany meat (preferably white).

Remarks

Use whichever mustard you prefer, smooth or whole-grain. Either will go well with the celeriac.
