Morning all. My reset is working. 3.2lbs down this week. But for context I am still 5lb up on a month ago. Yes I had really lost the plot.
@Dellabob123 the celeriac steak recipe-
For four people I used 2 smallish celeriac. Scrub them well and trim off all the hairy roots but don’t peel. Pierce each one with a fork 40 times all over. Mix 3tsps salt into 120ml olive oil and rub over the celariac. Place on a parchment lined tray and roast at 170 fan for 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours basting with the oil occasionally. When cool enough to handle cut into steaks brush with the oil and the caremelised goo that has collected on the paper on both sides and grill for 7 mins.
The sauce is put 110g butter, 1 small banana shallot finely chopped, 3 anchovy fillets (drained of olive and finely chopped, 1/2 tsp medium curry powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1tbsp mustard powder, 1/4 tsp salt in a pan cook for six minutes until shallots are softened and the butter had caramelised. Add 1tbsp baby capers, 2tbsp tarragon leaves, 1tbsp chopped parsley, 2tsp thyme leaves. Cook for a further minute. When ready to serve warm up the sauce , add 110ml cream and 2tsp lemon juice. Pour over the celariac steaks and serve. Served 4 as a main with aubergine cream salad. Meant to take a photo but we devoured it before I remembered.
All from the Ottolengi Flavour book. It’s a great dish for guests so long as you prep and roast celeriac early in the day. I’ve always served as a veggie main but could also make a great side and if you are doing a roast any way, a great way to cook the celeriac with or without the sauce.
@StuntNun -days on the motorway and an inevitability! Hope DS settling in and you are not missing him too much.
On holiday at home with DM staying. Yesterday involved an extended fast as national trust café had nothing low carb on offer. Pesto topped salmon and roast veg for dinner.
