1 The celery root can be purchased whole and cut or pre-cut.
If you prepare it yourself : peel it as for a potato, rinse, and toss with lemon juice. It can be cut into julienne in the food processor or by hand.
2 Mix in a shallow bowl with the mayonnaise and season to taste.
3 Serve cold in small glasses for example, on a buffet, cocktail or as a starter.
My advice: Cultivated in the northern part of the Parisian region, celery root is available from autumn to spring, but better in autumn. Sold in its leaves, the root with white flesh should form a firm, heavy ball and not sound hollow. |
