Celeriac With Butter and Lemon - Céleri - Rave Saute image

From the "French Farmhouse Kitchen" by Eileen Reece. The French method of cooking the majority of their dishes in enamelled, cast- iron "cocottes" and casseroles, sealed with a heavy lid, is greatly responsible for the fine flavor of their food.

Time 25m

Yield 4 side dishes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs celeriac (celery root)
2 ounces butter, unsalted
2 tablespoons corn oil or 2 tablespoons olive oil
salt
pepper
1 lemon, juice of
2 tablespoons chopped tarragon, or
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Peel the celeriac and cut into 1 inch thick slices. Cut each slice into 8 or 10 pieces (batons) and drop into a panful of fast-boiling, salted water.
  • Blanch for 3 minutes only, drain and pat dry in a cloth.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a large iron frying pan over medium heat and, when the butter froths, arrange the celeriac pieces in the bottom in one layer.
  • Season, increase the heat slightly and saute until golden brown, turning the pieces with a spatula and shaking the pan to prevent sticking.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle with lemon juice and chopped herbs.
  • Shake and saute again and correct seasoning if necessary.
  • Turn into a heated serving dish and serve immediately.
