Ingredients: 1x Celeriac, 3x Carrots, 3x Turnips, 3x Potatoes, 3x Eggs (hard
boiled) ,
2x Apples, 1 tin Garden Peas, 3 Gherkins, Mayonnaise, Salt and Pepper |
 |
Put with
skins on, your turnips, carrots, celeriac and potatoes in a fairly
large pan, enough to cover with water |
 |
Prepare
together all the other ingredients, gherkins, mayonnaise, apples,
hard boiled eggs, peas, salt and pepper |
 |
boil all
the vegetables until soft, this can take some time, make sure the
celeriac is soft to the core |
 |
Once all
boiled leave them to cool, preferably in the open air with a net
over the top or pan lid. Make sure they are cold to the touch before |
 |
you peel
all the skin off know. Just the surface skin and no more to preserve
all the goodness |
 |
Like so
|
 |
Once all
this is done the secret is to cut into tiny cubes, however you
mustn't dice |
 |
this size
is acceptable. |
 |
You should
have now diced all the core root vegetables, like this picture
|
 |
Now it's
time to begin to add the crucial ingredients to give it that
distinctive taste |
 |
Add the
garden peas and mix thoroughly |
 |
Another
example of the size of your diced portions |
 |
Once
everything is diced and added to the pan, you need to work slowly on
adding the other ingredients |
 |
This is the
remaining bits to go |
 |
Add in the
mayonnaise stirring slowly the secret is not to add to much so it's
like a cream, just add enough so the ingredients bind together
|
 |
add your
salt and pepper to taste, your pot should look something like this,
be careful not to add to much salt as this can ruin the dish,
however plenty of pepper gives a nice bite to the salad |
 |
You can
serve this salad as a main course with bread or as a side salad with
a white meat course, chicken or fish.
|
 |
This is how
it should look, make sure you keep the salad refrigerated, it can
last for up to a week and generally tastes better the next day.
Enjoy. |
