Celery Walnut Loaf Recipes

CELEBRITY WALNUT LOAF

Steps:

• Toast the bread slices either in the toaster or on a baking sheet placed under the broiler.
• Let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Generously butter a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, then line the bottom with waxed paper and butter the paper.
• Tear up the toasted bread slices and make crumbs out of them in a food processor.
• Place in a large bowl.
• Process the walnuts until finely ground and mix into the bread crumbs.
• Combine the eggs and onions in the processor and process until fine but not liquefied.
• Stir into the bread crumbs.
• Place the green pepper, celery, parsley, tomatoes, and oil in the processor and grind until fine but still with some texture.
• Stir into the loaf mixture along with the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Mix this all very well until evenly moistened.
• (The mixture may be prepared to this point and refrigerated up to 8 hours in advance.) Scrape it into the prepared loaf pan and smooth over the top.
• Cover the loaf with foil.
• Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out dry.
• Let sit 5 minutes, then run a knife all along the sides of the loaf to help loosen it.
• Unmold the loaf onto a platter and remove the waxed paper.
• Let the loaf cool 20 minutes or so before slicing it.
• It's best to serve the loaf warm and the gravy hot.
• Mushroom gravy: Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat.
• Add the mushrooms and saute until brown, about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the flour; it will become very pasty.
• Cook this roux for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• It will stick to the bottom of the pan a little bit; that's okay.
• Stir in the stock, wine, soy sauce, and pepper, and bring to a boil.
• Cook the sauce at a bubbling simmer for 5 minutes, stirring almost constantly and scraping any crusty bits that stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Serve in a pretty gravyboat.

CELERIAC & WALNUT GRATIN

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Peel, quarter and very thinly slice the celeriac - this is best done with the slicing blade of a food processor. Toss in the walnut oil, salt and pepper, and spread over a gratin dish. Pour over the stock and bake for 40-45 mins, then sprinkle with the walnuts, crumble over the cheese, then cook for 15 mins until crisp and golden.

CELERY ROOT AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a medium bowl two-thirds full with cold water; add 1/4 cup lemon juice. Trim top and bottom of celery roots, then peel with a vegetable peeler or paring knife. Transfer to lemon water.
• Toast walnuts in 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add shallot; cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon zest. Set aside.
• Whisk together remaining 1/2 cup lemon juice, vinegar, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small bowl. Cut celery root into matchsticks (or julienne using a mandoline). Toss celery root with walnut mixture in a serving bowl; add parsley. Pour dressing over salad. Season with salt and pepper; toss well. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

DELICIOUS LENTIL LOAF

Steps:

• Combine 2 1/2 cups water and lentils in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and lentils are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Mix 1/3 cup water and ground flax seed together in a bowl; set aside until thickened, at least 10 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, mushrooms, celery, and garlic until softened and liquid from mushrooms has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
• Transfer cooked lentils to a food processor and pulse until about 75 percent of lentils are mashed. Mix onion-mushroom mixture, flax seed-water mixture, oats, flour, basil, black pepper, salt, and onion powder into lentils until well combined. Press lentil mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
• Combine ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and barbeque sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until glaze is smooth and brown sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat.
• Bake loaf in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Spread 1/4 cup glaze over lentil loaf; continue baking until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve lentil loaf with remaining glaze on the side.
