Total weight: 1,100 grams

Times for this recipe

Preparation: 15 min.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Put the celeriac on a chopping board; there is no need to wash it.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 1 min.

Take a large knife and slice off the top.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.

Turn the celeriac round and slice off the bottom...

Stage 4

...at least half an inch (1 cm). It is quite hard, so you will need a good large knife.

Stage 5

Stand the celeriac on the cut base and cut away a section of peel from top to bottom.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Turn the celeriac slightly and repeat.

Peel the whole vegetable like this.

Discard the peelings, preferably for compost. Wash the chopping board of any dirt left, and dry it. Rinse the peeled celeriac under running water and dry that too.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.

Cut the celeriac into four lengthways.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 2 min.

Use a small knife to remove the slightly spongy centre from each quarter.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 5 min.

Now cut each quarter into pieces of a suitable size for your recipe: simply in half for grating, or in small pieces for soup, for example.

Stage 10

Cut up all the quarters like this and your celeriac is ready.

Remarks

The fresher the celeriac, the harder it is to cut, so use a really large knife to make this easier.

Once the cut surface is exposed to the air it will start to oxidise and turn brown. If you are not going to use it immediately, wrap the pieces in plastic film and refrigerate, or put them in cold water with the juice of a lemon or, better still, a pinch of vitamin C powder.

Keeping: 1 day in the fridge, protected by cling film.

Bouquet garni

Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.
