I've only recently discovered celeriac, thanks to our weekly vegetable box from the organic farm. Although it's sometimes difficult to find, I've decided I like it much better than the usual stalk celery for any cooked dish - it's easy to dice, has a wonderful subtle celery flavor, and there are none of those blasted strings! It just goes to prove that sometimes very good things come in ugly packages!

I Love Celeriac
Today I'm making a simple lentil soup - some sauteed chopped onion, garlic, carrot and celeriac, with some thyme, a bay leaf, the lentils and some vegetable stock. I made some tabouli yesterday with a lot of parsley, lemon, good olive oil and chopped scallion, and will have that as a side salad, and there's fresh pineapple for dessert.

The only thing that disappointed me about our produce deliveries is that there has been no celeriac! I was totally expecting some over the winter, it's usually a local winter staple. I've never paired it with lentils, I bet it's delicious!
I take your point about celery, but don't you find peeling celeriac a little tought too?!
:D
mangocheeks - Chop, chop, chop - all done! Not too bad.
