Ingredients
- 1 celeriac, chopped in 2-3 cm steaks
- 2-3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 1 lime, juiced
- 3 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp extra virgin rapeseed oil
For the sauce:
- 3 tbsp Greek or coconut yoghurt
- 1 heaped tbsp tahini
- Juice and zest of a lime
- 2 green chillis, finely chopped and deseeded
- 1 clove garlic, diced
- 2 handfuls parsley, chopped
- Salt
For the onions:
- 1 large or 2 medium red onions, finely sliced into slivers
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp red wine or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp coconut sugar or maple syrup
To top:
- A handful of mint, chopped
Method:
- Whisk together the tamari or soya sauce, lime juice, maple syrup and oil until combined.
- Lay the celeriac steaks onto a baking tray and pour over the tamari marinade until coated. Then cover and leave to marinate for 2-3 hours or longer if possible (ideally overnight).
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius.
- Pop the celeriac steaks into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes before turning and cook for a further 10-15 mins until softened and golden. You may want to take them out earlier if they look cooked before then.
- Whilst the celeriac is baking, sauté the onions in a pan on a low heat with a splash of extra virgin rapeseed oil until slightly softened. Add into a bowl and add lime juice, vinegar, coconut sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix and leave to pickle for minimum 15 mins.
- Make the sauce by putting the yoghurt, tahini, lime zest and juice, green chillis, garlic and parsely into a bowl. Add a sprinkle of salt and mix together.
- When the celeriac steaks are done and slightly cooled, add them to a plate and spoon over the sauce. Top with the pickled onions and some fresh mint. Finish with some salt, pepper and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve as a main with some sides or as a delicious veggie side!
