Celeriac, coffee and truffle, by Julien Allano

Ingredients for 4 persons :

  • 4 small celeriacs
  • 20 cl of milk
  • 20 cl of cream
  • 10 coffee beans
  • 20 g of truffle
  • 1 g of agar-agar
  • Almond slivers
  • Olive oil
  • Salt pepper

Preparation of celeriacs:

Wash and peel the celeriac, taking care to keep the branches and the peelings. Remove the leaves from the celery stalks. Store the leaves in cold water. Finely slice the branches.

Coffee emulsion:

Cook the celery peels in the milk and cream for 20 minutes over low heat. Off the heat, steep the coffee beans for 20 minutes. Mix everything, season with salt and pepper and place it in a whipped cream siphon. Gas with 2 cartridges.

Truffle:

Mix the truffle with the same amount of water as the truffle. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.

Cooking celery:

Steam the leaves like spinach, less than 1 minute. Cook the whole peeled celery with a bottom of water, olive oil, salt and pepper, and a lid. Turn regularly for 15 minutes. Make the salad with the chopped branches, almonds, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Dressage:

Pour the coffee emulsion onto the bottom of the plate, place the small celeriacs cut in four on top, then a few leaves of branch salad with almonds. For more delicacies, add a few shavings of truffle.

Chef’s tip: for a vegetarian dish, double the quantities. As a garnish, it can accompany a nice roast poultry.
