Roasted Shiitake & Celery Root :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::



Difficulty: Easy
Time: 15 mins prep + 55 mins oven
Servings: 3 quarts

Celery root & shiitake mushrooms perfume the potatoes & chard in a roasted vegetable dish with flavors in harmony.  Those that don’t like the texture of regular celery often like the creamy taste of its rooty cousin. 

Amount
Measure
Ingredient
Prep Method
5
Ounce
Shiitake mushrooms

1
Medium
Celery root

1 or 2
Medium
Red onions

1
Tablespoon
Miso
Or Doenjang, soy sauce or bouillon
1
Quart
Water

½
Cup
Dry vermouth
Or sake


Start the broth w/ the onion skins, shiitake stems & celery root leaves.  Add the water, miso or bouillon, dry vermouth & any other veggie flotsam to a covered small saucepan set over high heat.  When it boils, remove cover & simmer over med high heat while you prep the veggies.  I don’t use the celery root skin because it is often very dirty in its nooks & craggy crannies. 

1
Pound
Yukon gold potatoes

1
Bunch
Rainbow chard

1
Medium
Granny smith apple
optional

Dice everything about 1” to fit the spoon. Preheat the oven to 425.  Quarter the larger shiitake & cut the smaller ones in half. 


Combine all in a roasting pan.  Add any optional flavorings like:

½
Teaspoon
Garlic powder

½
Teaspoon
Chili flakes

1
Teaspoon
Favorite dried herbs
Herbs de Provance, tarragon, dill, Italian herbs, etc
1 ~ 2
Tablespoons
Fresh rosemary

1
Medium
Cinnamon stick

2/3
Cup
 Crispy bacon crumbles


I tried meatless bacon this time.  If you’re into experimenting w/ alternatives, use them as a flavoring, not a direct substitute, to avoid disappointment. 

1 or 2
Medium
Lemons
Juice & zest
2
Tablespoons
Butter
Organic unsalted
1
Tablespoon
Evoo

½
Teaspoon each
Sea salt and black pepper


Strain the broth over the veggies, add citrus juice & zest, salt & pepper, evoo & dot w/ butter. 

Roast covered for 40 mins, then remove the cover, increase the heat to 450 and roast for 15 mins more.  Test the celery root and the potatoes, when both are tender the dish is done.  Depending on the celery root  [some are more tender than others] it may need a few more mins in the oven. 


If you have any leftover, blend it up w/ some organic chicken, beef or veggie broth for a scrumptious soup in a French style.  Whisk in a little cream & serve w/ crusty garlic herb bread.  Herbs de Proveance make for a delish garlic bread.  Share your culinary creations & morphs on all Hungry Harvest social media.
