CELERIAC WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Serves :
5

Preparation Time :
40 minutes

Cooking Time :
1 hour 30 minutes

Preparation Method :

  • To prepare the tomato sauce, heat the butter in a large heavy-based saucepan, add the onion and garlic and fry gently for about 10 minutes, until very soft and lightly colored.
  • Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, wine, parsley, cinnamon and bay leaf. Season to taste.
  • Add hot water and bring to the boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the tomatoes.
  • Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, peel the celeriac, and then cut into chunky pieces. As you prepare the celeriac, place the pieces in a bowl of water to which the lemon juice has been added, to prevent discoloration.
  • Drain the celeriac, and then plunge quickly into a large pan of boiling salted water.
  • Return to the boil and blanch for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the celeriac well, and then put in an ovenproof serving dish or 3 individual dishes.
  • Pour over the tomato sauce, discarding the bay leaf, then sprinkle the breadcrumbs and cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake at 190°C (375°F) mark 5 for 30 minutes, until the celeriac is tender when pierced with a skewer and the topping is golden brown.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve hot, straight from the dish.
  • Accompany with boiled rice.
