Transform a Root Vegetable Into an Extraordinary Dish
When you think of celery root, you’re probably thinking of heavy, creamy dishes that stick to your ribs. What you probably don’t think about is lasagna. But chef Jonathan Tam of Copenhagen’s Relae is known for using vegetables in unexpected ways, and this lasagna- flavored buttery flaky root vegetable is a prime example. Aside from adding the oregano flavor with zesty oil – use this method to mix about half a cup of herbs with two cups of oil, then strain. Chef Tam lays down thinly sliced celery braised in oil with the sauce he makes. from root irregularities. The result was a beautiful, surprisingly sexy dish that I literally couldn’t stop eating.
