Celeriac Salad With Parmesan Walnuts Parsley Recipes

CELERIAC SALAD WITH PARMESAN, WALNUTS & PARSLEY

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together with 1 tbsp water and some seasoning, and set aside. Tip the lemon juice into a bowl. Use a swivel blade peeler to shave thin ribbons of celeriac into the lemon juice and toss to coat.
• Thinly slice the celery sticks on an angle, but keep the leaves. Toss all the ingredients, except the Parmesan, with the celeriac and season with sea salt and a little pepper. Pile the salad onto 4 plates and top with the Parmesan shavings. Drizzle with the dressing and extra olive oil before serving.

CELERY AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• At least 1 hour before you plan to serve the salad, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, the shallots, celery seed, celery salt, anchovy paste, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Place the celery in a mixing bowl and toss it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. (Even though these ingredients are in the dressing, believe me-this step makes a difference.) Add enough dressing to moisten well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the celery to crisp and the flavors to develop.
• When ready to serve, arrange the celery on a platter, shave the Parmesan onto the celery with a vegetable peeler, then sprinkle with walnuts, parsley leaves, salt, and pepper and serve immediately.

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.

PARSLEY SALAD WITH TOASTED WALNUTS

Steps:

• In a clean, dry cast iron skillet toast the walnuts until light golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool then chop coarsely.
• Salad Dressing: In a small non-reactive bowl combine all the ingredients and using a hand held immersion blender blend until smooth. Best prepared 1 hour in advance.
• Salad: Rinse the fresh parsley well under cold running water and shake vigorously or use a salad spinner to remove the excess water.
• Place the rinsed parsley in a salad bowl, pour the dressing over it. Sprinkle on the grated Parmesan cheese and walnuts.
• Using salad tongs, mix the ingredients well so that the dressing and Parmesan cheese coat the parsley thoroughly.
• Serve small portions, approximately ½ cup per person.

CELERY ROOT, APPLE & WALNUT SALAD WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, place shallot, vinegar and salt in a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil and truffle oil. Set aside until ready to serve.
• About 10 minutes before serving, combine the celery roots and apples in a large bowl.
• Add the walnuts and chopped and whole leaf parsley. Season with salt and add the vinaigrette. Toss well.
• Add half the cheese and gently toss.
• Garnish the salad with the remaining cheese. Serve immediately.
• NOTE: dressing can be made 2 days in advance and kept chilled. The salad should be assembled right before serving to prevent the celery root & apple from oxidizing.

TOMATO SALAD WITH SMOKY EGGPLANT FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Set the whole, unpeeled eggplant directly over a bed of hot coals, over the open flame of a gas burner at full blast or under the broiler. With a paring knife or skewer, poke a few holes into the eggplant to allow steam to escape. Let the skin of the eggplant blacken and blister, turning the eggplant continuously until it is soft, collapsed and completely charred, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Set the cooked eggplant on a chopping board, and, when cool enough to handle, cut in half from top to bottom. Let cool to room temperature (about 15 minutes), then scoop out flesh with a spoon, discarding any large seed pockets. Tear or roughly chop eggplant flesh and put in a medium bowl.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, tahini, garlic, yogurt, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon, and salt and pepper. Beat mixture with a fork, leaving it somewhat rough. Set aside to let flavors meld at room temperature, then taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Put diced onion in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add pomegranate molasses, sumac and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Add chopped tomatoes and fold into onion mixture, sprinkling with a bit more salt, if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and top with walnuts.
• Spread eggplant mixture on pieces of warm lavash or pita, keeping the edges clear, and arrange on a platter. Spoon some of the tomato mixture onto each piece. Sprinkle dill, parsley and mint liberally over it all.
