Pan Roasted Celeriac With Rosemary Butter Food

EASY ROAST CELERIAC

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200°C / 400°F / GM6.
• Cut the celeriac into quarters with a good heavy knife, trim and discard the knotty root end.
• Peel the celeriac and then cut into 2.5 cm/1" cubes.
• Put everything in a roasting pan, making sure that there's enough space so that the celeriac pieces are in one layer, with some spice between them. If necessary use two pans.
• Mix well to coat each cube with oil and herbs.
• Roast for 15 minutes. Turn the celeriac with a spatula.
• Return to the oven for a final 10-15 minutes. The celeriac will be golden and crisp on the outside. Check with a fork to see that celeriac is soft in the middle.
• Serve immediately.

PAN-ROASTED CELERIAC WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the rosemary and garlic and cook gently until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the celeriac. Cook, turning every several minutes until soft and golden brown on all sides, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle salt, pepper and minced rosemary to taste.

PAN SEARED & OVEN ROASTED GARLIC BUTTER STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
• Mix parsley and garlic. Sprinkle lightly with salt and mash slightly to mix, then mix with butter.
• Melt the butter mixture over low heat in a small pan.
• Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and place a heavy pan or iron skillet over high heat. Lightly coat pan with oil when hot. Sear the steak until browned on one side (5 minutes). Turn the steak and brush the top generously with the flavored butter.
• Place into the heated oven and cook to your preference (check after 5 minutes by cutting into the center of one of the steaks). The meat will continue to cook from residual heat, so remove it from the oven when slightly less done than you wish.
• Pour remaining butter and any pan juices over the meat and let it stand for a few minutes before serving.

CHEESY CELERIAC, LEEK & ROSEMARY GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the leeks, rosemary and bay leaf, then cover and cook very gently over a medium-low heat for 15-20 mins until the leeks are soft. Pour over the milk and almost all of the cream, then season and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little, then scoop out the bay leaf.
• Pour a little of the leek mixture into an ovenproof gratin dish. Arrange a layer of celeriac in the dish, then season. Spoon over some more of the leek mixture and scatter with a little cheese. Repeat the process, alternating between layers of the leek mixture, cheese and celeriac slices, then finish with a drizzle of cream and the last of the cheese. Can be prepared up to a day ahead and kept in the fridge.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Bake the gratin for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins until the top is golden and the celeriac is tender when poked with a knife. If the gratin is browning a little too much, cover the dish in foil. Can be chilled, then reheated in a microwave or oven on a low heat with a drizzle more cream.

WHOLE ROASTED CELERIAC

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. If the celeriac has a green sprouting top, cut it off and discard. Scrub off any dirt and trim away any frilly bits of root. Rub the celeriac all over with the oil and place on a large sheet of foil, root-side down. Scatter with the garlic, herbs and seasoning. Wrap the foil tightly and place on a tray and roast on the bottom of the oven for 2 hrs. Check after 2 hrs that the top is very tender - if not give it 30 mins more.
• To serve, unwrap the celeriac and cut off the top. Loosen and mash the middle with the butter, some seasoning and squeezed out softened garlic, if you like. Serve the celeriac with a spoon sticking out of it for everyone to help themselves to.

STEAK WITH ROSEMARY CELERIAC FRIES, KALE & GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan /gas 6. Mix the butter in a bowl with the garlic, parsley and lemon zest. Scrape out onto a piece of cling film, roll into a sausage and keep in the fridge until needed.
• Toss the spiralized celeriac on a large baking tray in 1⁄2 tbsp oil, rosemary and some seasoning then spread out the celeriac, leaving enough room between the 'fries' so that they cook evenly. Roast in the oven for 20 mins until tender and crisped.
• Heat a large frying pan over a high heat while you season the steaks. Once searing hot add the remaining oil and the steaks. Cook for 2 mins on each side for medium rare, then set aside on a plate to rest.
• While the steak is resting, put the kale in a large microwaveable bowl with 50ml water. Cover then cook on high for 3-4 mins, or until wilted. Slice the butter into rounds. Serve on top of the steak and kale alongside the celeriac fries.
