<< BackBreaded Fried Celeriac – from Herwig’s Austrian Bistro
Breaded Fried Celeriac
· 6 fist-sized celeriac bulbs
· 6 tbsp. flour
· 1 tsp. pepper
· ½ tsp. salt
· 1 c. fine breadcrumbs
· 1 tbsp. dried parsley
· ¼ c. vegetable oil, or more
Peel and slice celeriac into ½ to ¾ inch rounds. Steam rounds until just tender (not soft), blanch by immersing into ice water until cool, then drain. Combine flour, pepper and salt. Combine breadcrumbs and parsley. Heat oil in skillet – there should be about 1/8 inch on the bottom of the pan. Dip each celeriac round (both sides) into flour mixture, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Fry until golden brown, then flip and fry on the other side. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, hot sauce or (if you’re feeling lowbrow) ketchup.
