Roasted Celeriac Steaks with Green Tahini Sauce

Recipe by Annabelle Randles

These yummy roasted celeriac steaks are served with a creamy green tahini sauce, toasted hazelnut, plus a side of sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and butter beans.

Celeriac is not always the most inspired veg but dressed with some zingy dressing, it really comes to life.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180 Fan.
2. Peel celeriac. Cut it in four 2-cm thick slices / steaks (keep the edges to make soup or vegetable stock)
3. Heat some salted water in a pan. Parboil the celeriac steaks for 10 mins until tender.
4. In the meantime, heat some olive oil in a frying pan. Add finely chopped red onion, crushed garlic. Fry gently until soft. Add finely sliced mushrooms and dried thyme. Fry gently for 10 mins until they are cooked and have a nice golden brown colour. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Add the cannellini beans to the pan. Season to taste. Stir all together and keep warm. You can make the tahini sauce (see step 6) while the mushrooms are cooking.
5. When the celeriac steaks are done, pat them dry. Place them in a roasting tin. Drizzle with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Roast for 15-20 minutes until golden.
6. In the meantime, blend together all the ingredients of the green tahini sauce (except for the capers, lemon juice and maple syrup). Transfer to a bowl. Add chopped capers. Season to taste adding more lemon juice and/or maple syrup.
7. Toast hazelnuts in a pan. Set aside.
8. Serve the celeriac steaks with the vegetables. Top with green tahini sauce and toasted hazelnuts.
