This seasonal side dish goes beautifully with a roast, alongside sausages instead of mash or with baked meaty fish like pollack or hake

Ingredients

5 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves , very finely sliced
2 red chillies , deseeded and finely chopped
few thyme sprigs
2 small or 1 large celeriac , peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
splash of white wine (optional)

Steps:

Heat the oil in a shallow pan and sizzle the garlic for 1 min until fragrant. Add the chilli, thyme and celeriac. Toss everything to coat in the oil, then season with salt.
Turn the heat down to a minimum, cover the pan and cook everything really gently for 40 mins or until soft enough to squash. Stir occasionally and add a splash of white wine or water if it starts to catch. When cooked, crush the celeriac lightly with a wooden spoon and serve. The celeriac may now be left to cool in the pan - reheat on the hob with a drizzle more oil.
