In Austria celeriac is typically made like a "Wiener schnitzel".
Peel celeriac, slice 1/2 " thick, dry, dip in flour, egg wash and good bread crumbs. Saute in olive oil.
If celeriac is used in a raw salad, celeriac is sliced (like Ali's recipe) and mixed with a grated tart apple. Salad is dressed with a light lemony creamy dressing.
I forgot to add that lemon is used to prevent celeriac from discoloration!
Yum to all of this! I am really looking forward to a breaded preparation sometime soon. And I think if I had added an apple to the salad, I wouldn't have had to add honey. Great idea!
There’s a recipe from the New York Times for a soup with celeriac, potatoes, leeks and an apple. I make it every year with our CSA. Be sure to double the recipe though!
For celeriac, not an exciting use, but I love it just simply mashed with a bit of butter and milk like you would potatoes. It's especially good as a bed for some kind of meat like saucy meatballs or long cooked pork shoulder.
Bummer about the popcorn! I've always been curious about cobs that (allegedly) pop, but have not tried it. On celeriac: I haven't used it much, but I have occasionally cut it into chunks and roasted it along with potatoes (just simply, with olive oil, salt & pepper). They go well together. Belated rutabaga suggestion: I love it cut into thick disks, brushed with honey or maple syrup, and roasted. Delicious.
I’m so sorry your corn didn’t pop! I placed my ear off popcorn into a paper lunch bag and it popped perfectly in 2.5 minutes. My microwave is not very strong (it usually takes much longer for things to get hot than other microwaves I’ve used). Could that be the reason it worked for me?
Possibly! But no worries, I will try again... going to pick up some more ears of dried corn this weekend along with proper sized paper bags. So glad the method worked for you!
On the microwaved popcorn-on-the-cob venture: I’ve tried this before with mixed success. I think my best attempt was in a Pyrex bowl draped with a kitchen cloth, though I still got lots of burnt pieces. I’ve also had a cob catch fire… that was my last experiment. 😂
Overall, I think the best strategy is to ask the kiddos to pull the kernels off the cobs. Once it’s started it goes pretty quickly. My daughter’s preschool teacher used to include this as a fine motor skills activity in class.
So smart to enlist the kiddos! Will definitely do that next time around. And I'm fairly certain my cobs were just a few seconds from combusting 🤣🤣🤣 A burnt smell erupted from the microwave as soon as I opened the door.
could you make the pasta gratin vegan and use an oat or almond milk and then vegan cheese if choose too? thanks! I probably would use almond flour in the bechamel too
My daughter couldn't have dairy and I often would make her a besciamel sauce (which is what they are making here with the milk/butter/flour) with olive oil or vegan butter, flour, and cashew milk in all the same proportions. It works really well. Have added some nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor since we haven't loved any vegan cheeses.
thank you yes I know its a bechamel...and yes you can do it with cauliflower or cashews ...I was looking to see if she had direct experience with a particular way...and maybe simpler..thank you! I can have dairy, I just opt out as much as possible:)
Hi Lisbeth! Unfortunately, I don't have experience making this one vegan, but I don't see why oat or almond work would not work here, and vegan cheese, too. Go for it!

Katie, hello! It's been too long. Will definitely check out this soup recipe. Thank you for sharing. xo
I make gratin with celeriac
Yum.
Braised in olive oil, Turkish-style! https://ozlemsturkishtable.com/2011/11/celeriac-with-winter-vegetables-cooked-in-olive-oil-zeytinyagli-kereviz/
Looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

came here to say the same! I like it in a mash done like potatoes, or sometimes in combo with the potatoes.
Love the sound of this... simple and delicious, especially with something saucy. Thanks for sharing.
thank you! I have not seen that pasta before; i love the idea of it getting so crunchy like lasagna can do!!
Thank you for the corn info. I think I’ll give the deer a thanksgiving treat
🤣
Pop corn on the ear.
I had luck putting in a large bowl, covering with plastic wrap and microwaving it checking frequently, like every 1-2 minutes.
Thank you, will try!
Cheesus that corn looks blue!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Domenica! Love both ideas. Also: I'm still dreaming about that orecchiette photo you posted today ... that's my idea of heaven.
They were good! :-)
No advice on microwave popcorn but wanted to thank you for the laugh! 😆😆 and I’m terrible with any type of mw popcorn 🙇🏼♀️
Makes me feel better 🤣🤣
Such beautiful colors!
Thank you, Judy!

Thank you for sharing these ideas, Gabrielle! Nutritional yeast would be wonderful with the kale here, and your non-dairy bechamel sounds great.

gotcha, sorry to butt in, I couldn't resist. :-)
no problem, kind of you to try to help! I want to find that curly pasta..that to me really would make it super special!
Also, the pasta shape is called Campanelle. Many stores carry it. https://www.barilla.com/en-us/products/pasta/classic-blue-box/campanelle

just fyi, if your readers need it; TRADER JOE has the curly pasta...just different name...
