Nems with Celeriac a la Waldorf Salad

This is a cool recipe to eat a rather boring piece of vegetable.
Most of the times celeriac ends up in soups as a piece of the veggie mix together with carrots and leek or it ends up as a mash with some potatoes. That is a pity. Treat it like a Schnitzel and you satisfy an vegetarian.


Roll a thin slice of cooked celeriac and fill it with a tasty mixture. Eat it and discover that you made an old classic American Salad, the Waldorf Salad.
There are a lot of different lists with ingredients when you check the many recipes on the web. It must have been one of them that inspired the people of the cooking magazine to post it. And since I can´t cook anything without leaving my own handwriting on a recipe, there you go - Waldorf Salad!


To get 4 mm thin slices of celeriac, you better use a mandoline. Then place them in boiling salted water and cook them until you can fold them over easily. Drain and cool down. Mine took about 13 min to get to that stage. So be patient.


reipe for 12:
1 medium size celeriac
60 g cream cheese
12 walnut halves
2 tbsp sugar
salt and pepper
juice of half a lemon
1/4 bunch dill
1/2 green apple

Caramelize the walnuts, let them cool down then chop them.
You can close the nems with chives, but it is easier to take toothpicks.
Mix the ingredients and fill the celeriac slices.
Done!
