Céleri-Rave à l’orange

Serves : 2 people

Preparation : 30 minutes

Cooking : 1 hour 20

Ingredients

2 oranges organic because we use the zest
1 branch of celery
1 celeriac pretty big
2 red onions
2 cl of carrots
1 sheet of bay leaf
1 cl of cloves
1 star of star anise
1 tsp of mascobado or brown sugar
olive oil
salt, pepper

Instructions

Peel the celeriac, cut it into large pieces, and brown it (without burning it) in a Dutch oven with the oil. Cook for 10 minutes.

Rinse the celery stalk and cut it into small pieces; peel and finely chop the onion; rinse and scrub the carrot, then cut it into small cubes. Add these vegetables to the pot, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, zest the oranges.

Add the brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, cloves, star anise, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer gently for about one hour.

Once the dish is done cooking, remove the zest and bay leaf, and serve the celery and vegetables.

Notes

For a complete vegetarian meal, serve this orange-glazed celeriac with rice. This dish can also be served as a side dish with fish; in that case, cut the celeriac into smaller pieces.
