celeriac

I can think of nothing I'd like more right now than to pair this Greenmarket celeriac with apples and Gruyere and horseradish and serve the slaw on everything!



(...except, maybe, to make that Apple and Sweet Onion Marmalade in my Recipe Box. I must be really craving autumn -- or just Granny Smiths and mustard.)

CELERY ROOT, GRUYERE, AND APPLE SLAW WITH HORSERADISH
Recipe courtesy of: Gourmet, October 1994

Serves six

1/2 pound Gruyère cheese
1 medium celery root
1 1/2 Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
about 3 tablespoons bottled horseradish, drained, or grated fresh horseradish to taste

Cut cheese into matchsticks and put in a large bowl. Peel celery root and apples and cut into matchsticks. Add celery root, apples, and lemon juice to cheese, tossing gently.

In a small bowl stir together remaining ingredients and add to slaw, tossing gently. Slaw may be made one day ahead and chilled, covered. Add additional horseradish to taste before serving if necessary. Season slaw with salt and pepper.
