Easy celeriac remoulade

by Jeanne Horak on June 18, 2008 21 Comments in Salads, Vegetarian

Celeriac-remoulad

 

Nick and I are currently trying our best to learn conversational Spanish.  Why?  Ummm, because I’ve always wanted to learn a modern European language (Latin, I’m told, doesn’t  count!), and Spanish seems the most useful as it’s spoken all over South America as well as in Spain.  So here we are, about halfway through our course and battling to remember when to use the estar or ser form of the verb to be; or when to use el banco or un banco.  I can feel new synapses forming in my brain already!

But one of the things you always have to watch out for when learning the vocabulary of a foreign language is false friends – words that look so similar to English words that you assume they mean the same thing… but in reality they don’t.

In this way:

* bizarro is not so bizarre after all;

* carpeta is not something you will find covering your floor;

* being embarazado may be a very happy event;

* an exito is not the way out; and

* you won’t be doing any shooting with a revolver.

A culinary example of a false friend is a roulade and a remoulade.  They look pretty much the same, give or take two letters, so obviously they must be pretty much the same thing, right?  On this basis, I was always puzzled by the idea of celeriac remoulade – I mean, how could you roll something in a piece of celeriac?  Or, for that matter, why would you want to bake celeriac into a roll of something else??

Au contraire.

A roulade is a French culinary term referring to a thin piece of meat roll around some sort of filling and secured before cooking (although these days it also refers to other rolled dishes, including sweet dishes).  But a remoulade is a thick mayonnaise-based sauce, often flavoured with mustard, capers or anchovies.  Not so similar after all!

Celeriac is definitely not something I grew up with.  In fact, when I came to the UK, I don’t think I could have told a beet, a parsnip and a celeriac apart if my life depended on it.  But slowly it seems to have found its way into my lexicon and my kitchen.  Celeriac (or Apium graveolens) is a type of celery grown for its bulbous tap root rather than its leaves and stems – it also goes by the rather unfortunate name of knob celery ;-).  It’s a very versatile vegetable which can be mashed or made into a soup or gratin like potatoes but with only 5-6% of the starch; or it can be grated and eaten raw in salads.  It has the same sort of flavour as celery but less intense.

I’ve had it a couple of times in restaurants, most memorably at Tom’s Kitchen and Vivat Bacchus, but had never made it myself until Nick arrived back from a solo grocery shopping expedition the other day with a huge bulb – “It was marked down!”.  Bless.  For a change, the weather played along and we were able to have a cosy little braai a deux for dinner, and to accompany the grilled meat I could think of nothing nicer than some crunchy celeriac remoulade.  We kept ours simple, but you could certainly spruce it up further with the addition of cornichons or capers.  It’s definitely going to be a regular on our summer menu from now on!

Celeriac is high in Vitamin C, calcium and potassium and is low in fat (which makes up somewhat for the mayonnaise dressing…!).  The only note of caution is that it oxidises really quickly, so once cut, you need to rub the cut surfaces with lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown and then black.  Once grated, make sure to mix the celeriac with the dressing as soon as possible to prevent discolouration.

 

Celeriac remoulade

 

CELERIAC REMOULADE (serves 2)

Ingredients:

one small (or half a large) celeriac
juice of one lemon
2-3 Tbsp good mayonnaise
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
1 Tbsp capers (optional)
2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley (optional)
salt and coarse-ground black pepper

Method:

Peel the celeriac (easier to use a very sharp knife than a vegetable peeler as the skin is quite robust!) and grate it.  If you have only used half the celeriac, rub the cut surface with lemon juice before wrapping in plastic wrap and returning to the fridge.

Place in a bowl with the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice and optional capers and parsley.  Mix well.  Check for flavour and add mayo or mustard as required.  Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with grilled or cold meats – or on a sandwich!

    I bought some celeriac at a fruit and veg vendor in Salt River, but because I did not know the vegetable, I think it was no longer edible, because it was stringy, hard and horrible.I’ve heard that there is a new organic market in Stellenbosch and it is apparently something to behold – maybe I’m in luck there! The remoulade looks so yummee – almost like a crunchy coleslaw.

    Mmmmm – nice and crunchy.. I made something very similar (see here: http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2007/04/celeriac-salad-or-time-to-use-up-those.html) but I called it a salad. I need to learn those proper culinary names 🙂
    Good luck with learning Spanish!!

    Jeanne! Thank you sooo much for all your comments 🙂
    I love celeriac with mayonnaise, I think that is one of very few dishes were I like to use mayo.
    I add raisins, apples, walnuts and pepper – Waldorf salad…

    I love Spain and find Spanish relatively easy in terms of pronunciation… you just lisp lots!

    And this roulade (wait! remoulade! haa haa!) sounds delicious.

    Kalyn – it’s just fabulous! You always tend to think of celeriac as only a winter vegetable – but this is a perfectly summery dish!
    Nina – LOL! I have to say, celeriac does not look promising when you start. And even nibbling on the grated celeriac before you add the dressing, it’s rather dry and unappetising. But with the dressing…. Do give this recipe a try – my husband is totally hooked 🙂
    Pille – yum! And I’ve now added you to my list of “other bloggers making remoulade”. Spanish is still great fun, although I’m sure I’m torturing the grammar!
    Rosemary – hey, I’ve seen that guy outside Giovanni’s! You make me homesick now… But yes, definitely try and get some and make this yummy dish 🙂
    Helen – definitely, celeriac is underrated. And I think “knob celery” is just the most hilarious name. Glad I’m not the only one with the silly sense of humour…
    Vegeyum – you’ll be so glad you did!
    Margot – only a pleasure 🙂 And love your idea of the Waldorf salad with a celeriac twist – must try that 🙂
    Sean – me neither, till I moved to the UK. And even then it took me years before I could confidently identify it by sight!
    Katie – LOL!! Reminds me of a friend who went to Germany after school said “Ich bin heiss!”, meaning she was hot. Apparently a better translation was “I’m on heat!” And yes, I’m sure I will spend many years spouting such grammatical abberrations as “We am going beach yesterday” or similar…
    Susan – shrunken celeriac heads – sounds very Far Side 😉 And you will love this recipe – particularly because you can take the basic structure and then play around! And if I resent my parents for anything, it’s for causing me NOT to be born in Europe because if I’d been surrounded by so many languages as a kid I’m sure I’d speak more than the 2 I do today…
    Dragon – a yoga-teaching friend of mine always says that when you are on the path the universe wants you to take, things become easy. So if life surrounds you with celeriac… make remoulade!
    Mel – love the lisping theory 😉 And I must say, I am really enjoying learning the language! Pity the roast beef did not turn out too well 🙁 Maybe too long in the oven? Next time I’m in Cape Town, how about I give you a roast meat masterclass??
    Kaykat – I know, what’s a couple of letters between friends?? Why go changing the entire meaning of the word?! Am enjoying the Spanish – after 8 weekly classes I have enough of a vocab to string together coherent sentences that are not on our phrase list – hurrah! Well, I think they’re coherent…
    Suganya – *blush*, I feel suitably blessed now 🙂 Glad the recipe was just in time to help you make your dish! I will check out Susan’s post and add to my links list.
    Sorina – a word of warning – it’s addictive 😉

    Nice clear recipe, I must try it. I’ve eaten it out but never make it although I LOVE celeriac / potato mash in winter. I’ve been haphazardly trying to learn some Italian but so far can only say food related things.

    Celeriac is also one of the main ingredients for “snert”, Dutch pea soup.
    It’s boiled for over 6 hours, together with winter carrots, leeks, green peas, split speas, pork cutlets and bacon.
    It resembles stew more than it does soup. 🙂
    I was trying to see if it was sold in Cape Town, because i’m going there to visit friends and they’d like me to make it for them. 🙂

      Hi Martijn – that’s so funny, because “snert” in Afrikaans means rubbish! The sup sounds anything but rubbish though… I am not sure if celeriac is sold in Cape Town as I have never looked for it there, but I am pretty sure that there is a good chance you’d find it at the Food Lovers’ Market. Good luck!

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
