Celeriac - How do you cook yours?

My recipe for whole roast celeriac.
Celeriac is a root veg that can be easily grown in Ireland. It is super healthy, raw or cooked – high in anti-oxidants and dietary fibre and a good source of Vitamin K and essential minerals like iron, calcium and copper. While it isn't very pretty it can be delicious!
It can be eaten raw in salads like remoulade or grated into a crab salad mixture - it looks just like crab meat when finely grated and so helps the crab go further!
You can steam and puree it, beautiful with fish. My recipe here is for whole roast celeriac, delicious, healthy, satisfying and easy to make!
Ingredients:
1 celeriac root
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2tbsp butter (olive oil if vegan)
2 sprigs bay leaf
small handful fresh thyme
Pepper and Salt
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Wash the veg well to remove and soil from the root part.
- Place in a large piece of foil.
- Smear with the butter, top with garlic, herbs and seasoning.
- Seal up the foil parcel and roast for 2 hours.
- Occasionally open the foil and baste the veg with the butter from the bottom of the foil.
- Serve in slices, either as a vegan roast or to accompany any roast dinner.
