Chermoula Celeriac Steak with Mint & Hazelnut Pesto
These celeriac steaks are so hearty and make a great alternative to meat. We have double coated them for max flavour, using our versatile and delicious Chermoula spice mix. The roasting can be done up to 2 days before frying to serve.

Ingredients
1 large celeriac, scrubbed
Marinade:
250ml (1 cup) plain plant yoghurt (or regular for non-vegan)
Combine marinade ingredients and use half of marinade to coat the celeriac.
Place celeriac on a lined baking tray and bake for 3.5-4 hours until a skewer inserts easily. If the marinade seems to be burning (it will go very dark) reduce heat or cover with foil until tender.
For pesto, blitz ingredients together and taste for seasoning.
Once cool enough to handle, cut the celeriac into 1.5-2cm slices and coat slices in remaining marinade.
Heat a non-stick frying pan with a little oil and fry celeriac steaks for 2 minutes each side until golden.
Serve immediately with pesto and salad, or keep warm in a low oven.
Notes
The smaller ends of the celeriac that don’t make steaks can be whizzed into soup, or blitzed with white beans to make a mash style puree to serve the celeriac on.
