KALE, ROASTED CELERY ROOT, DEVILED EGGS AND SPICED ALMOND SALAD

Steps:

• For the garlic confit: Cut the tops off of the tip of the garlic heads, leaving the root ends intact. Add to a small saucepan and cover with the vegetable oil. Cook gently over medium-low heat until the oil is infused and the garlic is soft to the touch, about 45 minutes (it should not come to a simmer). Remove the garlic heads from the oil and allow to cool prior to removing the softened cloves. Squeeze out the cloves from their skins and mash slightly; set aside. Reserve the oil.
• For the deviled eggs: Lay the eggs flat in a saucepan and cover with water. Put the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid, turn the heat off and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes. Submerge or rinse in cold water until cooled.
• Peel the eggs, cut lengthwise and separate the yolks. Mash the yolks in a bowl with the melted butter, mayonnaise and mustard until smooth. Stir in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Put the filling into a piping bag, no tip needed. Season the egg white halves with salt and pepper and drizzle with some of the garlic oil. Refill the egg whites with the filling.
• For the spiced almonds: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• In a bowl, whisk the egg white until thick and frothy. Add the sugar, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to combine. Add the almonds and coat with the egg white mixture.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the nuts to a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and crunchy, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway. (Note: There will be way more spiced nuts than you need, but they hold up well in an airtight container.)
• For the roasted celery root: Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the celery root with the coconut oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place on the outer perimeter of a baking sheet, which is where they will roast evenly, and roast until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• For the creamy garlic vinaigrette: In a food processor, add the honey, garlic confit, mustard and egg yolks and pulse to combine. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and pulse. Add the sherry vinegar and pulse to combine. Turn the speed to low and slowly drizzle in the oil. Turn off immediately after the last oil is combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Divide the kale into 4 parts. In a small bowl, place one-quarter of the kale and 1 tablespoon of the creamy garlic vinaigrette and toss to coat. Arrange on a plate, add 3 deviled egg halves, a small handful of spiced almonds and some roasted celery root. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 servings.
• Serve with the Spiced Biscuits and drizzle with another tablespoon of dressing.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon of the za'atar, the sugar and salt in a medium bowl using a whisk. Using a bowl scraper or your fingers, mix in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal; using your fingers will create a more cake-like texture. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times. Roll the dough into a 1-inch-thick disc and cut out biscuits using a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Make sure you don't twist the cutter otherwise you'll squish the sides and the biscuit won't rise. Knead the scraps together, re-roll and cut out biscuits until all the dough has been used.
• Place the biscuits bottom-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk together the vegetable oil with the remaining 1 tablespoon za'atar and brush the mixture on each biscuit. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

ROASTED CELERY ROOT, POTATO AND WILD MUSHROOM SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the celery root and potatoes in a roasting pan and toss with 2 teaspoons of the salt and pepper to taste. Spray lightly with the olive oil. Roast until tender, tossing from time to time, about 40 minutes.
• Spray a large, nonstick skillet lightly with olive oil and place over medium heat until hot. Add the mushrooms and saute until browned and softened, about 5 minutes.
• Place the chicken broth in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Season with the remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Arrange the mushrooms in the center of 4 soup plates. Mound the celery root and potatoes over the mushrooms. Ladle the broth around the vegetables, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

ROASTED CELERY ROOT WITH CUMIN AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and put a baking sheet inside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Lightly chop the cumin seeds and add to a medium bowl. Trim the ends off the celery root, then peel and discard the exterior. Cut the root into 3/4-inch-thick planks and then into 3/4-inch cubes. Toss the cubes in the bowl with the cumin seeds, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
• Halve the red onion and thinly slice. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the cubes in an even layer. Add the onion slices to the bowl the celery root was in and coat with the residual oil and seasonings. Arrange the onions on top of the celery root and put back into the oven to roast. (If the onions are in contact with the pan for the entire cooking time, they could get too dark or burn.)
• When the cubes begin to brown on the bottom, about 15 minutes, toss the vegetables around, scattering the onions around the pan and flatten again into one layer. Continue to roast until the vegetables are very soft when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before tossing with the parsley leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

ROASTED OYSTERS WITH PICKLED RADISHES, CARROTS AND CELERY ROOT

Steps:

• For the Pickled radishes etc:
• Put the radishes, carrots and celery root in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, the sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour the pickling liquid over the radishes, carrots and celery, and cover with a plate to keep them submerged. Let cool to room temperature.
• Cover the bowl with plaster wrap and refrigerate for about an hour. Transfer the pickles and liquid to a container, cover and refrigerate.
• For the Oysters:
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-low-heat. Add the leek, shallot and garlic and cook until soft, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, make the brown butter. In a small skillet, cook the butter over medium heat, swirling the pan, until the better melts and the milk solids turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F, or prepare an outdoor grill and let the coals burn until they turn white.
• To keep the oysters from tipping, spread the rock salt in a large baking pan and nestle the oyster in the salt, being careful not to spill the juices. With a spoon, gently lift each oyster from the shell, slip about 1/4 teaspoon of the cooked leek mixture into the shell, and set the oyster on top. Drizzle with a little brown butter.
• Bake in the over or cook on the grill until the oysters are just heated through, about 5 minutes. Top each oyster with a few pieces of pickled radishes, carrots, celery root and chives.

CAULIFLOWER AND CELERY ROOT MASH WITH ROASTED GARLIC RECIPE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine everything except the garlic in a large pan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20-25 or until celery root is tender. Strain but reserve the liquid. Mash the vegetables with a potato masher to desired consistency. Add splashes of the reserved hot liquid until as smooth or chunky as you like. Stir in the garlic and serve sprinkled with fresh chopped herbs. TIPS AND NOTES: Add other flavors such as a dash of parmesan or a chipotle pepper. For a vegan version, omit the milk and stir in a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil at the end.

ROASTED KABOCHA SQUASH AND CELERY ROOT SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Cut the Kabocha squash in half with a very sharp knife, scrape out the seeds and strings, and place the halves cut-side down on a lightly oiled non-stick baking sheet. Peel the turnips and cut them in wedges. Peel the celery root and cut it in 1" pieces. Toss the turnips and celery root with about half a tablespoon of the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, and spread them on another baking sheet.
• Roast all the prepared vegetables in the hot oven for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the squash gives easily when poked with a wooden spoon, and the turnips and celery root are tender and flecked with dark brown (note: I found the celery root/turnips were done faster, at about 30 minutes Check on them periodically.) When the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop it out of its shell.
• While those vegetables are roasting, cut the leeks in half lengthwise, wash them thoroughly and slice thinly, using only the white and very light green parts. Set aside. Chop the onion and sauté it gently in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, with a dash of salt and the rosemary, until it is soft and golden brown.
• In a soup pot, combine the roasted squash, turnips, celery root, leeks and sautéed onions with 4 cups water and a teaspoon of salt. Simmer the vegetables, covered, about twenty minutes to let them get perfectly soft. Add two cups vegetable broth, two tablespoons fresh lemon juice, a pinch of hot paprika or cayenne and 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup.
• Allow the soup to cool somewhat, then puree it in a blender or in the pot with an immersion blender. Add a little more vegetable broth if the soup is too thick to pour easily from a ladle. Return the soup to a clean pot and bring it back to a simmer.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Lower the heat and keep cooking the butter for a few minutes, stirring with a whisk, until it is a light golden brown. Stir the browned butter into the soup.
• Taste the soup, and correct the seasoning, whisking in more salt, lemon juice, or maple syrup as needed. This last step is essential, as Kabocha squashes can vary in sweetness, and lemons certainly vary in acidity. And as always, when working on the sweet-sour balance you reach that point where only a good pinch of salt will make it right.
• Drizzle a thin thread of olive oil on top of each serving of this soup, and then sprinkle it with a spoonful of toasted, chopped pecans.

ROASTED SALMON WITH BLACK PEPPER AND GINGER ON CELERY ROOT PUREE

Steps:

• Season the salmon lightly with salt, brush the top with a little melted butter, and immediately sprinkle evenly with the crushed pepper and chopped ginger. Drizzle the remaining butter over. If you wait too long, the butter will harden and the mixture won't stick. Refrigerate, covered, until needed.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Prepare the sauce: In a small saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter until foamy. Over medium heat, saute the shallots and garlic until the shallots are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato and cook 1 or 2 minutes longer. Pour in the wine and vinegar, turn up the heat a little, and reduce until 1/2 cup remains. Pour in the water and reduce by half. Strain into a clean pan. Finish the sauce by whisking in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Brush some olive oil over a baking tray large enough to hold the salmon slices in 1 layer and arrange the salmon on the pan. Roast until medium, about 10 minutes. The salmon should be cooked on the outside, but still moist and slightly underdone on the inside.
• Presentation: Divide the sauce amoung 4 warm dinner plates. Spoon equal amounts of celery root puree in the center of each plate and place 1 piece of salmon on the top.
• 1 celery root (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 or 2 small baking potatoes (about 4 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons (1-ounce) unsalted butter
• Freshly ground white pepper
• Place the celery root and potato in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Season with salt and cook until soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drain the water and return the celery and potato to the pan. Pour in the cream and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until thickened and most of the cream is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the butter, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Puree in a food mill, return to the pan, and keep warm over simmering water. Use as needed.
• Yield: about 2 1/2 cups
