A Simple Winter Comfort: Slow-Roasted Celeriac with Crisp Chorizo
When January rolls in, all we want to do is curl up by the fireplace and let a warm, comforting meal take care of itself. And that's exactly what José Pizarro's slow-roast celeriac with rosemary and crisp chorizo delivers.
This dish may seem like a humble affair – just a large root vegetable, some herbs, and spicy sausage thrown together in the oven – but trust us, it's nothing short of magic. The slow roasting process tenderizes the celeriac to a silky smoothness, while the rosemary and garlic add a fragrant depth that complements the earthy sweetness of the veg.
As you let the aroma waft from the oven, the air in your kitchen transforms. It becomes warmer, cozier – like a big hug on a cold winter's night. And when it's finally time to sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor, all that's required is a simple arrangement of thinly sliced celeriac, spooned with a tangy chorizo dressing and finished with a sprinkle of parsley.
So don't ignore this winter superstar – give José Pizarro's slow-roast celeriac a try. Your taste buds (and your sense of well-being) will thank you.
Pizarro's clever trick is to use the oven to let everything come together seamlessly. Simply wash, peel, and chop the celeriac, then coat it in a mixture of crushed rosemary, garlic, and smoked paprika. A splash of olive oil, some salt, and pepper seal the deal – along with a generous helping of tinfoil and a healthy dose of patience.
As you settle in for a long afternoon of roasting, your kitchen will fill with an incredible scent: smoky, savory, and utterly captivating. While the celeriac does its magic, the chorizo sizzles away in a pan on the stovetop – until it's golden brown, crispy, and positively addictive.
When the dish is finally done, simply arrange the slices of celeriac on a platter, spoon over the chorizo dressing (which involves reducing apple cider vinegar with olive oil), and finish with a sprinkle of parsley. It's a meal that's equal parts comforting and sophisticated – perfect for those long winter evenings when all you want to do is curl up by the fire and let someone else cook.
