Method

  1. Peel the celeriac and cut deep slices across the top without cutting all the way through.
  2. Mix oil, lemon juice, garlic, spices, salt and pepper.
  3. Rub the marinade all over the celeriac and into the cuts.
  4. Leave for 30 minutes.
  5. Roast at 200°C for around 1 hour, basting halfway.
  6. Mix the red cabbage with vinegar, lemon, sugar and salt.
  7. Slice the roasted celeriac into kebab-style pieces.
  8. Serve in flatbreads with hummus, cabbage pickle, chilli sauce and parsley.

Notes

The sliced “hasselback” style helps the marinade get into the celeriac and gives more caramelised edges.
