Look at this little weird fellow. This is a celeriac, you have probably never seen one I have no doubt. You can buy these in the supermarket, this dish is zero effort and is a good alternative to potatoes. This method makes a good side dish or stater. Or a snack. 

Ingredients: 

• 1 whole celeriac 
• Creme fraiche 
• Lemon 
• Salt and pepper 
• Olive oil

Method: 

• Heat your oven to 190/200 degrees 
• Trim the base off the celeriac and trim the skin off lower edges that can be really muddy. 
• Rinse the celeriac under the tap and place on a parchment lined baking tray.
• Rub all over with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. 
• Roast for two hours – test that you can slip a sharp knife in, if you can it’s ready. 
• Place on a chopping board and cut wedges to drizzle with a bit of lemon and dip into Creme fraiche. 
• Alien toad loaf.
