Carrot Celeriac Remoulade Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the celeriac in half through the top and slice each half into 1/8- inch thick slices. Cut the slices, stacked 2 or 3 together into 1/8 inch wide julienne. In a mixing bowl, toss the julienne with the lemon juice. In another mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise with the mustard and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir this sauce with the celeriac and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Steps:

• Place celeriac, carrots and celery in a bowl or colander and salt generously. Toss and leave for 30 minutes. Taking mixture up by the handful, squeeze out excess water and transfer to a bowl. Add chives and parsley and toss together.
• Whisk together crème fraîche, mayonnaise, grapeseed oil, yogurt, lemon juice and mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add to the vegetables and toss together. Serve right away or for even better results, refrigerate for an hour or so before serving.

Steps:

• This is the hard part: trim the celeriac. You must be fearless and ruthless, but conservative. Cut off the top of the less squiggly end, and then cut down along the sides, following the contour of the root and taking as little of the flesh as possible. You will find much of the bottom part comes off more easily than you'd imagine. When you're nearly done, use a paring knife to trim out as much of the brown skin as you can - but don't worry if you leave a few bits. Julienne by hand (you're a better man than I, if you do!) or with the grating disk of a food processor, which will take no time at all. Sprinkle with a little salt and put into a serving bowl.
• To make the mayonnaise in the food processor: Put the egg, mustard, salt, pepper and acid in a food processor (preferably with a small bowl) and turn on the machine. While it's running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream. (Most food processors have a hole in the feed tube for this purpose; you can just dump all the oil in the feed tube. Amazing.)
• To make the mayonnaise by hand: Put the egg, mustard, salt, pepper and acid in a medium bowl. Beat together with a wire whisk or a fork. Begin to add the oil in dribbles as you beat, adding more as each amount is incorporated. You'll notice when a thick emulsion forms, then you can add the remaining oil a little faster. Depending on how fast you beat, the whole process will take about 5 minutes.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning. For this dish, the mayonnaise should be a little thin, so add a tablespoon or 2 of water, again with the machine running or whisking by hand. Use immediately or refrigerate for about a week.
• Combine the julienned celeriac with enough mayonnaise to bind; you won't use the whole cup. Stir in some parsley and garnish with a little more. Serve.

Steps:

• Peel and trim the celeriac and cut into quarters. Slice the quarters very thinly (on a mandolin if you have one), then cut the slices into matchsticks. Sprinkle with the celery salt, toss together and leave for 20 mins.
• Wash off the salt, then put the celeriac in a clean tea towel and twist to squeeze out any excess moisture. Tip into a bowl and stir in the mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice and wholegrain mustard. Season with black pepper and celery salt, then serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice together thoroughly with a generous sprinkling of salt and some freshly ground black pepper, so it all becomes one sauce.
• Peel and quarter the celeriac, then, working quickly, coarsely grate it and stir into the sauce until evenly coated. Serve the celeriac remoulade with lots of toast and some dressed watercress. It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.
