Celeriac remoulade
Celeriac remoulade is a great seasonal alternative to coleslaw this time of year. Remoulade sauce is a daughter sauce of mayonnaise, it is made with the addition of capers, cornichons, and herbs such as tarragon, chives and chervil. With this mayonnaise I used a sweeter vinegar such as riesling which works well with the anise notes of tarragon in the sauce. I also macerated the celeriac in orange juice which gives that bit more depth to the dish.
200g celeriac, peeled and julienned
20ml orange juice
2g maldon sea salt
To prepare the celeriac, place in a bowl and pour over the orange juice, season with the salt and mix thoroughly
Place to one side for an hour
Base mayonnaise
1 whole egg (room temp) for staff blender method or if making by hand use 1 egg yolk
150ml neutral oil such as sunflower oil (or sometimes I will use half sunflower and half olive oil or rapeseed oil)
