Celeriac Rémoulade Recipes

QUICK CELERIAC REMOULADE

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.

MARY BERRY'S CELERIAC REMOULADE

Steps:

• Put the celeriac in a bowl and cover with approximately 100ml/3½fl oz cold water. Add the lemon juice. Toss well to prevent it going brown.
• Mix all the dressing ingredients together and season with salt and pepper.
• Drain the celeriac, toss in the dressing and leave to soften for 30 minutes before serving.

CELERIAC REMOULADE

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the celeriac and remove the knobbly outer surface. Put 1 litre (34 fl oz/ 4 cups) cold water and half the lemon juice in a large bowl. Cut the celeriac into thin julienne strips and put them immediately into the lemon water to prevent discoloration. Soak for up to 1 hour.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the remaining lemon juice. Drain the celeriac and add to the boiling water. After 1 minute, drain and cool under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
• To make the remoulade, whisk the egg yolks, vinegar and mustard together in a bowl. Add the oil, drop by drop from the tip of a teaspoon, whisking constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, then add the remaining oil in a very thin stream. Season and, if necessary, thin with a little warm water.
• Fold the celeriac strips into the remoulade and chill for 2-4 hours. Stir in the finely chopped capers, parsley and gherkins, if using, and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts before serving.

CELERIAC, CELERY AND CARROT REMOULADE

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.

CELERIAC REMOULADE

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the celeriac, halve the bulb, and slice into very thin julienne slices. Julienne the apple, and toss both in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk the yolk with the vinegar and mustard. Add the grapeseed oil, drop by drop to make a thick mayonnaise. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, to taste. Stir in the fennel seed, and toss with the celeriac to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Cook's Note: Several hours is fine: some would even argue it's de rigueur.

CELERIAC REMOULADE

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.

CELERIAC RéMOULADE

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.

CELERIAC REMOULADE

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.
