Ingredients

  • 500g celeriac
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 500g salt
  • 3 sprigs rosemary, roughly chopped
  • 4 bay leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, to serve
  • 1 apple, cored and sliced into thin half moons
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 60g baby kale
  • 100g pomegranate seeds
  • 50g walnut halves, toasted
  • 30g pumpkin seeds, toasted
  • 2 tbsp walnut oil
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 and line a roasting tin with foil.

Step 2

To make the celeriac: Slice the bottom off the celeriac to make a flat base; place it in the roasting tin.

Step 3

In a clean, dry mixing bowl add the egg whites and whisk until they form soft peaks. Add the salt and herbs and mix into a very thick paste.

Step 4

Cover the celeriac all over with the paste to make an airtight casing (the celeriac will steam inside the crust). Place the tray in the oven and bake for 2 hrs.

Step 5

To make the salad: Toss the apple in a salad bowl with the lemon juice, to stop it browning. Add the baby kale, pomegranate, toasted nuts and seeds.

Step 6

Mix the oil and vinegar together with some seasoning; set aside ready to dress just before serving.

Step 7

Once the celeriac has had 2 hrs, take it out of the oven. Carefully remove the top of the crust and with a spoon start to scoop out the celeriac into a serving dish (or serve it from the crust). Give it a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Dress the salad and serve.
