Roast Curried Celeriac Chunks Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to fan 190C/conventional 210C/gas 7. Heat the butter in a small pan, add the curry powder and black mustard seeds then cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and bubbling. Peel and dice the celeriac and tip into a roasting tray. Pour over the curried butter, season with salt and pepper and toss together. Roast for 40-50 minutes, shaking the tray every so often, until the celeriac is golden and has taken on the colour of the curry powder.

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 230C/ gas 8/ fan 210C. Peel the celeriac, slicing off the top and bottom and sweeping down the sides with a heavy, sharp knife to remove the tough skin. Cut the celeriac into thumb-thick slices and then into fat chips.
• Bring a very large saucepan of salted water to the boil, throw in the chips and blanch (boil rapidly, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes). Drain the chips and throw back into the saucepan. Add the oil, curry powder and sea salt. Toss until well coated.
• Spread the chips over a large heavy baking sheet, leaving plenty of space (you may need 2 sheets). Cook them in the oven for about 30-35 minutes.
