Preparation
- Sweat the chopped shallot in butter, add the apple, deglaze with apple cider vinegar, add the chili and apple juice, and cook everything until soft.
- Steam the celery until done and blend smooth with the apple mixture. Incorporate the cold butter and finish with a fresh taste.
- For the stock, make a light caramel from sugar and lemon juice, deglaze with port and white wine, and let reduce.
- Pierce the lemons, add them with the aromatics and poultry stock, and let infuse covered for 20 minutes. Fill the lemons into preserving jars.
- Strain the stock, bring to a boil again, pour over the lemons, and seal the jars. Wash the celeriac and cook with thyme, salt, and olive oil in the oven at 160°C, then cut out barrels and slices.
- Marinate the slices with elderflower syrup and fry until golden brown. Roll the barrels in whey powder.
- Make a salt crust, cook the celeriac in the crust, break into pieces, and clean. Sear the celery pieces.
- Serve all celery preparations on the plate, pour over the thickened celery juice, and add some pieces of preserved lemon flesh. Garnish with cress.
