Smashed Celeriac
This is a beautiful recipe that transforms humble celeriac into a dish that bursts with flavor. Fragrant garlic, spicy chillies, and earthy thyme marry perfectly with the tender celeriac cubes. Cooking it gently allows the flavors to meld and the celeriac to become wonderfully soft. The optional splash of white wine adds a touch of elegance to this simple yet impressive dish.

Ingredients
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves , very finely sliced
- 2 red chillies , deseeded and finely chopped
- few thyme sprigs
- 2 small or 1 large celeriac , peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
- splash of white wine (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a shallow pan and sizzle the garlic for 1 min until fragrant. Add the chilli, thyme and celeriac. Toss everything to coat in the oil, then season with salt.
- Turn the heat down to a minimum, cover the pan and cook everything really gently for 40 mins or until soft enough to squash. Stir occasionally and add a splash of white wine or water if it starts to catch. When cooked, crush the celeriac lightly with a wooden spoon and serve. The celeriac may now be left to cool in the pan – reheat on the hob with a drizzle more oil.
