Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 celeriac , peeled and chopped
50g butter
½ leek , finely sliced
100g cavolo nero , de-stemmed and sliced
½ lemon , juiced
splash of olive oil
2 rashers of streaky bacon , very finely chopped
4 thyme sprigs , leaves picked
50g rye sourdough bread , blitzed to a coarse crumb
50ml double cream
grating of fresh nutmeg

Steps:

  • Put the celeriac in a deep pan, cover with water and add 1 tbsp salt. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil, cooking for about 20 mins until tender. Meanwhile, melt half the butter in a frying pan and fry the leek with a pinch of salt and pepper for about 10 mins until softened. Add the cavolo nero and a squeeze of lemon juice and fry for a further few mins until tender.
  • Scrape the contents into a bowl and add a splash of olive oil to the pan. Fry the bacon and thyme until the bacon is crispy. Add the breadcrumbs and fry until toasted, being careful not to burn them.
  • When the celeriac is cooked, drain and allow to steam in the colander for 1 min or so, then transfer to a food processor and lightly blitz until you have a fairly chunky mash. Add the cream and the rest of the butter, season with salt, pepper and a grating of nutmeg and blitz again. Check for seasoning, transfer to a bowl and fold through the cabbage and leek mix. Top with the crispy crumb and serve.
