GERMAN CELERY ROOT SALAD



German Celery Root Salad image

Celery root salad (Selleriesalat) is a staple in Germany in winter. You can buy it ready-made in a jar but my mom always made it for us from scratch. If you like, you can add garlic or fresh herbs, but I prefer it plain.

THE ULTIMATE CELERY ROOT SALAD



The Ultimate Celery Root Salad image

I love to make this nutty salad when I find celery roots which are firm and have the green leafy tops on them. You need to own a mandoline with a fine julienne blade or this salad will not have the correct texture. Adding the leaves, nuts, and cilantro is my touch.

RAW-BEET AND CELERY-ROOT SALAD



Raw-Beet and Celery-Root Salad image

Bright, crunchy, and infinitely pairable-this healthy side salad brings a lot to the table. It's a good thing then that beets are also a top source of plant-based iron. And when teamed up with citrus like they are here, it makes it more than just delicious-the vitamin C boosts how much of the good-for-you nutrients your body can absorb.

Provided by Claire Saffitz

Categories     Bon Appétit     Pork     Pork Chop     Apple     Fall     Winter     Dinner     Lettuce     Salad     Almond     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Pork chop:
1 double-cut pork chop (1 1/2-2 pounds)
1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal or 1 1/2 teaspoons Morton kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salad and assembly:
1 large egg yolk
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon or horseradish mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 cups torn red leaf lettuce (from about 1 head)
4 cups torn frisée (from about 1 head)
1/2 small celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into matchsticks (about 2 cups)
1 apple, cut into matchsticks
2 ounces Pecorino, shaved
1/2 cup chopped smoked almonds
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Pork chop:
  • Pat pork chop dry with paper towels. Mix salt, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle all over pork. Place pork on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet so it's resting on its side with bone sticking upright and chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Let pork chop sit at room temperature at least 1 hour for even roasting.
  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Rub chop all over with oil and carefully place in skillet; reserve rack and baking sheet. Cook chop, turning every minute or so, until deeply browned on both sides, 5-8 minutes. Turn on its side and sear edges and fat cap until browned, about 3 minutes total. Transfer back to rack, place in oven, and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of chop about 1" from bone registers 130°F, 25-35 minutes (use a probe thermometer if you've got one, or use an instant-read thermometer and check every few minutes after pork has been roasting 20 minutes). Transfer pork to a cutting board; let rest 15-20 minutes.
  • Salad and assembly:
  • While the pork is resting, whisk egg yolk, garlic, vinegar, mustard, and honey in a medium bowl. Gradually add 1/2 cup oil, whisking until dressing is emulsified (it should be the consistency of heavy cream). Season with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Toss lettuce, frisée, celery root, apple, Pecorino, and almonds in a large bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Add about three-quarters of dressing and toss to coat; add more dressing to taste and season with more kosher salt and pepper.
  • Use a thin-bladed knife to cut pork chop away from rib bone, then cut between bones to separate into 2 ribs (or don't, and greedily eat both bones in the kitchen before serving others, because you're the cook and you deserve it). Slice chop 1/2" thick, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with salad.

BEET & CELERY ROOT POTATO SALAD



Beet & Celery Root Potato Salad image

This is a fantastic way to use a variety of root vegetables! The end result is beautifully colored with each ingredient being its own shade of pink. I also like the way that it has layers of texture. It can be hard to do with root vegetables. If you don't care about the texture you can make it all easier by boiling everything and just dicing it all and mixing it up like regular potato salad. I think doing it this way is worth the effort though.

Provided by Callu

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup water
3 fresh beets, peeled
1 teaspoon dried dill weed (or 1 tablespoon fresh if you can get it)
2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 celery root, peeled
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
4 red potatoes
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Boil or steam potatoes until tender. Usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
  • Cool, rub off skin and dice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Set aside in mixing bowl. This can be done ahead. And you can use left over potatoes as long as they are red or new potatoes and not baking potatoes. They need to have the dense texture of a new potato. I use exotic varieties from my garden.
  • Dice Beets into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Put large skillet on medium-high heat. Add water, diced beets, salt, garlic, dill (if dried, if using fresh add at the end) and cider vinegar. Simmer uncovered stirring occasionally.
  • While beets start to cook dice celeriac into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
  • After beets have cooked 8-10 minutes and liquid is about half gone add the diced celery root.
  • Continue to simmer until all liquid has evaporated. You will need to stir more frequently as it gets closer to the end and you may want to turn the heat down to medium-low. It is important that you use a wide skillet or it takes forever and the veggies will over cook. When finished taste and adjust salt content if desired. Beets should still be slightly al dente and celery root should be soft but not mushy. NOTE: If it gets to this consistency before the liquid evaporates you can strain off the excess juices but you will have to add extra seasoning and vinegar to make up for what you lose.
  • Remove from heat and add to cooked potatoes.
  • While mixture is still warm stir in onion and parsley.
  • Stir in mayonnaise. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking.
  • Serve room temperature or chilled.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons minced shallots
Juice of 2 Meyer lemons, plus extra if desired
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 large Granny Smith apple
1 large celery root, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch matchsticks
1 large Belgian endive, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced thinly diagonally
12 ounces blue crab meat
2 tablespoons chives, in 1-inch lengths
2 tablespoons roughly chopped celery leaves
1/4 cup roughly chopped parsley
1 large ripe avocado

Steps:

  • Prepare dressing: In a medium bowl, combine shallots, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then gradually whisk in the vegetable oil and olive oil. Add the heavy cream and cayenne pepper, stirring to blend. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Peel and core the apple, and cut into 1/8-inch matchsticks. Place in a large mixing bowl with the celery root, endive and 10 ounces of the crab. Add about half of the dressing, and toss to coat; add more dressing, if desired. Add the chives, 1 tablespoon of the celery leaves and all but 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Add additional lemon juice and salt and pepper as desired, to taste.
  • To serve, peel avocado and slice into thin wedges. Place in a medium bowl, and toss with just enough olive oil to coat the wedges. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the avocado among six plates. Divide the celery root mixture among plates, placing it on top of the avocado but allowing some of the avocado to show at one side. In a small bowl, combine the remaining crab meat, parsley and celery leaves. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the dressing, and toss to combine; reserve the remaining dressing for another use. Place a spoonful of crab mixture on top of each salad as garnish. Serve immediately.
