Simple Ottolenghi celeriac recipes

published on 29 June 2023

Celeriac is one of those versatile vegetables that you can cook any which way. It may be the root of a celery plant, but it can be transformed into a succulent, almost meat-like, Sunday roast substitute. Alternatively, you can channel your inner MasterChef contestant and whip up a celeriac purée for a fun alternative to hummus. If you’re looking for some inspiration for this vegetable, which is available to buy all year round, the following are the best celeriac recipes.

Yotam Ottolenghi’s Celeriac Steaks with Café de Paris Sauce

Looking for a vegetarian alternative to a Sunday roast? These celeriac steaks are as juicy as their meat equivalent, and the buttery Cafe de Paris sauce is a match made in heaven.

Celeriac Purée with Spiced Cauliflower and Quail’s Eggs

This celeriac purée is a great spicy alternative to hummus that works as either an appetiser or, when combined with bread or pita, as a main dish.

Yotam Ottolenghi’s Roasted and Pickled Celeriac with Sweet Chilli Dressing

This vegan recipe features both roasted and pickled celeriac, and pairs deliciously with the garlic and sweet chilli dressing. Leftovers work great in a salad or sandwich.
