Step 2

Clean the vegetables and cut them into large pieces about 3 cm in size. Finely dice the onions and finely chop the garlic. Sauté the vegetables in the pot with some olive oil, then add the onions and garlic and sweat. Deglaze with white wine, add bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place the celery back into the pot on top of the vegetables, cover, and roast in the oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for 1 hour. Then remove the lid, turn the celery, and roast for another hour. TIPP: If you like, you can cut the celeriac into portions and fry it again in the fry pan. The caramelised crust of the celeriac comes very close to that of a steak. In any case, the flavours are intensified by frying. Occasionally baste the celery with the liquid from roasting. Add some water if necessary.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the Sauce Ravigote: Finely dice the shallots and let them soak in white wine vinegar in a bowl for about 10 minutes. Pluck the tarragon and parsley leaves from the stems, setting aside some parsley for garnish. Finely chop the herbs and capers. Add Dijon mustard to the vinegar-soaked shallots and mix well. Slowly add olive oil while stirring constantly to obtain an emulsified sauce. Stir in the chopped capers and herbs. Season with salt and pepper and let the sauce sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
