Celeriac And Apple Bake

Celeriac can be a much-misunderstood vegetable.

Not only does it look, quite frankly, odd, but if you chop it and boil it, it looks just like potato, which can give the unsuspecting a bit of a taste shock!

This recipe uses a delicious combination of celeriac with apple, to create a sweet, warming winter bake. It's a great way of introducing celeriac to fussy eaters or just those who fancy a change.

Ingredients

Serves 4

1 celeriac
2 dessert apples
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 190 C.
Chop the celeriac into 4 and use a sharp knife to peel the rough outside.
Slice the quarters into 1 cm slices and boil for 10 minutes, until starting to soften.
Wash the apples and chop them in half. Remove the cores. It's up to you whether you peel them - you know your audience! Slice the halves into ½ cm slices.
Drain the celeriac.
While the pan is still warm, use it to mix the olive oil and the honey. This will help melt the honey. Add the celeriac and stir well, to coat all the slices.
Arrange a row of celeriac in an oven-proof dish. Then add a row of apple slices. Then continue to alternate, until all the celeriac and apple has been used.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the celeriac is soft and the apples are starting to brown.

Time From Cupboard-To-Table

Celeriac Recipes

	Celeriac Soup The flavour of this soup is subtle, but it gives you a chance to enjoy the celeriac, rather than masking its flavour.

	Pureed Swede With Cheesy Crust Many people are put off by childhood memories of swede – often confused with turnip. Yet its yellow-orange flesh can be delicious.

	Potato & Garlic Celeriac Mash Using celeriac with the potatoes makes a nice change from “just” mashed spud. Celeriac is a useful source of winter vitamins and minerals and the garlic is a known immune system booster. This is a lovely side dish, if you fancy trying something a little different.
	Carrot And Celeriac Soup The sweetness of sauted carrots and onions balance the pungence of the celeriac in this carrot and celeriac soup recipe. The coriander leaves give the finished soup a real lift, turning it into a filling autumn or winter treat.
