Celeriac samp

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes, plus overnight soaking time

Cooking Time 2 1⁄2 hours

Ingredients

360 g samp, soaked overnight
180 g dried white beans, soaked overnight
2 litres chicken stock
salt, to taste
2 large celeriac bulbs, peeled and cut into large dice
4 T canola oil
1 large onion, diced
1 celery, stick, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large sprig thyme
1 t white pepper
1 bunch celery leaves, thinly sliced
3 large shallots, thinly sliced
10 sage leaves
150 g butter

Method

1. Rinse the samp and beans and place in a saucepan with the stock and salt. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 hours, or until the samp and beans are tender but hold their shape.

2. Add half the celeriac and boil until the celeriac is tender.

3. Heat half the oil in a pan. Gently fry the onion and celery until translucent. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute. Add the thyme and season. Mix the onion-celery mixture into the samp and beans. Season again, if necessary, then stir in the celery leaves.

4. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the remaining celeriac on a baking sheet, rub with oil and season. Roast for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.

5. Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the shallots until crisp and golden brown. In the same pan, fry the sage leaves until crisp.

6. To serve, spoon the samp and beans onto a serving platter, then scatter over the roast celeriac, sage and shallots. Melt the butter and spoon over.
