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 ¼ cup 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 1 cup liquid cream, mix and bring to the boil.

Stage 7 - 4 min.

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

Stage 8 - 1 min.

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

...and leave the sauce to thicken slightly (with the mustard, this happens quite rapidly).

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.

New tiramisu

This new version of tiramisu is easier, and in my opinion much better. You will certainly appreciate, like me, the light creamy taste, this time presented in brandy goblets.

Eggs meurette

Eggs meurette or "œufs à la bourguignonne" is a great classic of French cooking, and of Burgundy in particular. It consists of poached eggs on a bed of fondue onions and bacon, served on a slice of fried bread. This is topped with a tasty reduced red wine sauce.
