Celeriac – A seasonal Unsung Hero

Celeriac – A seasonal Unsung HeroWe often post about meat. Our usual way of shopping is to find a low cost piece of meat in the reductions and build a meal around it. That's mostly my fault (Tony) as I'd make a very poor Vegetarian! But we don't often mention the vegetables specifically.
 
So Celeriac......
 
It's a sort of universal soldier for us at the moment. The local supermarket have them at £1 each and as they are priced per item you can get a very substantial chap for very little, weight for weight compared with other veg at the moment. OK they look quite unimpressive, knobbly, off white and are hard going to cut raw. But they are worth the effort. Another advantage is that unlike many root vegetables they don't discolour when you've cut them, so you can store a cut one in the fridge for days and come back to it. 
 
We've enjoyed:-
 
  • Home made Celeriac Coleslaw – Just cut lumps and grate it with Carrots, Onions etc. and mix in Mayonnaise.
  • Carrot and Celeriac mash. Use the Celeriac instead of Swede.
  • Boiled Celeriac batons.
  • Roasted Celeriac.
  • Celeriac in casseroles and Hotpots
 
Yes this picture is another Sunday roast, but the star of this show were the Celeriac Chips.
 
Method:-
 
(1) Cut the Celeriac into slim chip sized batons.
(2) Par boil to soften slightly.
(3) Deep fry.
 
It's a versatile beast. Enjoy!

Air Fryer Pork Kebabs recipe, eat well on universal credit

This was another bag of the Pork Leg I butchered and froze. We’ve had a bit of a break from Pork, but it was time to Freezer Mine and this was rather good!

Ingredients:-

400g Pork leg, cubed
200ml Yogurt
A handful of fresh Coriander, chopped
A handful of fresh Mint, chopped
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
½ Lime, juiced
2 Green Chillies
1 Tsp of Cayenne Pepper
Salt & Pepper to season

For the Skewers:-

1 Large Green Pepper, chopped
4 Shallots, halved

Method:-

(1) Combine the Pork and marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
(2) Cover and pop in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
(3) Load onto your skewers with the Green Peppers and Shallots interspersed.
(4) Cook on a rack at 180c in the Air Fryer for 15 minutes, turning once.
(5) Baste with the remaining marinade every 5 minutes during cooking.

We served these over Rice Noodles with Mange Tout and Baby Sweetcorn dressed with Garlic Ginger Soy Sauce. Also for amusement value, Sue slipped with the Garlic / Ginger Soy Sauce and turned the Rice Noodles BLACK!!!! Very tasty, but we were both very thirsty throughout the night….
