Celeriac Remoulade

Among the vast array of recipes, the Celeriac Remoulade has a near and dear place in my heart. I fondly remember when Erin and Samantha, my two precious gifts, first helped me peel and chop celeriac. They were both hesitant to try it, but once the unassuming looking vegetable was transformed into a delicacy coated in zesty lemon and Dijon mustard, their hearts were captured just like mine. We’ve been enjoying this nutritious twist on a classic new England Coleslaw ever since.

The Celeriac Remoulade is not just about creating a tangy side dish to accompany your main course. It’s about exploring the sometimes understated potential of our garden’s produce. It pairs well with a plethora of foods, particularly grilled fish dishes. Another favorite pairing of mine? Lobster roll – a classic twist from my roots in Maine.

Why Celeriac?

If you are looking for a nourishing side dish, I can’t recommend Celeriac enough. Probably one of the most overlooked root vegetables, celeriac, apart from being tasty, comes loaded with health benefits. Packed with dietary fiber, vitamins B6, C and K, and minerals such as phosphorus, manganese, and potassium, it works as a nutritional powerhouse. Its high antioxidant content is beneficial in fighting harmful free radicals, thus contributing to overall health and wellness. Adding celeriac to your meals is an excellent nutrition boost.

The Magic of Celeriac Remoulade

Once you find your rhythm with this recipe, the Celeriac Remoulade can become a staple in your kitchen. The sharpness of the Dijon mustard, coupled with the creaminess of the mayonnaise and the refreshing zest of lemon, weaves a magical layer of flavors over the crisp celeriac. The added texture from capers and the burst of earthy freshness from the parsley makes it a refreshing and charismatic addition to any meal.

In essence, the Celeriac Remoulade is more than a recipe; it’s a story. It’s a story of discovering unexpected wonders in underappreciated vegetables. It’s a tale of blending rustic earthiness with fanciful flavors. And most importantly, it’s an anecdote of small culinary victories in our kitchens, shared over dinner tables, and savored in every bite.

If you are looking for similar recipes, I would recommend you try the French Celeriac Pickles or the Classic Celery Remoulade, both of which are not only delicious but also versatile side dishes.
