This recipe is one of Nici Wickes' go-to meals during winter. The flavour of celeriac is beautiful, like a combination of celery and nuts, and it pairs well with the pork chops in this dish

Ingredients

Method

1.Scrub the celeriac bulb clean and peel away any knobbly bits. Cut off the bottom 1cm so it sits flat for cutting. Dice into 1cm cubes. Put a heavy-based saucepan on high heat, add a few good lugs of olive oil, the cubed celeriac, thyme and garlic, plus the seasoning. Stir to coat and fry quite fast, giving a little colour, for 5 minutes.
2.Reduce heat, add the water, cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until tender.
3.While the celeriac simmers, cook the pork chops. In a pan with a small amount of oil, brown the chops well on one side. Turn and continue cooking until cooked through. Add the cooked celeriac and sprinkle with parsley.
4.Serve from the pan, pouring over any pan juices.
  • Celeriac often suffers for being judged on its looks alone. Large, odd-shaped, knobbly and ugly, it certainly looks slightly scary! But it is full of surprises once you know it you’ll become a big fan.
