Celery Schnitzel
The celeriac disguised as a schnitzel. And a very delicious one at that.
This is probably one of my favorite recipes from my book Relaxed Cooking . A recipe from my childhood. I've always loved these celery schnitzels with a squeeze of lemon and paired with roast or baked potatoes, so those are suggested accompaniments here as well. But a salad is also great with it or anything you would eat with a schnitzel.
If you're just thinking about it, i.e. about the schnitzel and how we like to eat schnitzel, then this celery schnitzel - if there were any leftovers - would also be delicious in a bun the next day. With a lettuce leaf. As a schnitzel sandwich.
