We served ours with home fried Prawn Crackers and crispy Sea Weed.
Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. A month or so ago we wanted a bit of a side dish to go with a meal but didn't have much in.
We had ½ a Celeriac, some Onions and a couple of rather sad Carrots. It's amazing what you can create (Or more specifically Sue can invent) from next to nothing. We've had similar versions on several occasions but today's was the best so far. It knocks the spots of shop bought Coleslaw.
Ingredients:-
Onions, Celeriac, Carrot. All finely sliced in roughly equal proportions
A dash of White Wine Vinegar
The juice of ½ a Lemon
Fresh chopped Parsley (Just for a bit of colour)
Mayonnaise
Method:-
(1) As simple as mixing everything together and serving really.
The crunch of the Celeriac and the sharpness of the Vinegar and Lemon really work well together.
