Smashed celariac with chili, garlic and thyme
Firstly skin the celeriac by cutting the root off then cutting from the top down to the bottom In inch wide strips reapeat this al the way round the celeriac. Once skinned chop it into 1cm squares. It’s easiest to do this by cutting 1 cm thick slices lengthways then into strips and further into cubes. Once chopped start to gently fry in a generous amount of olive oil on a very low heat, adding the chopped garlic, chilli and stripped thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
Continue to fry gently for about 20 minutes until the celeriac begins to soften. Then add a small amount of the chicken stock and let the liquid cook down, continue to add a little more stock, cooking for a further 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently Once the celaric begins to break up remove from the heat and serve. Note that this is not meant to be mash, there should still be some texture to it.
