Ingredients:
- 1 Celeriac, trimmed and cut into 1cm wedges
- 6 medium Shallots, peeled and halved lengthways
- 250g Portobello Mushrooms, halved or quartered if large
- A few fresh Thyme sprigs
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- Large handful Kale, removed from stems and thickly sliced
- 2 fresh Rosemary Sprigs
- Small handful fresh Sage Leaves
- Pinch Sea Salt flakes
For the Batter
- 225g Plain Flour
- Pinch Baking Powder
- 4 large Eggs
- 300ml Whole Milk
- 3 tbsp Creamed Horseradish (I used Wasabi Mustard)
- 2 fresh Thyme sprigs, leaves picked
- Quality Veggie Gravy to serve
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the Celeriac, Shallots, Mushrooms and most of the Thyme Sprigs in a large roasting tin, drizzle with 2 tbsp of the Oil and sprinkle with Salt and Pepper. Roast for 25 minutes, turning the vegetables halfway through, until tender and starting to caramelise.
- Drizzle the remaining 2 tbsp Oil into a baking dish, then warm in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the Batter, sift the Flour and Baking Powder into a large mixing bowl, then make a well in the centre. Crack in the Eggs, then pour in the Milk. Using a whisk, beat to make a smooth batter (you should see bubbles start to appear on the surface). Whisk in the Horseradish, Thyme leaves and some Salt and Pepper.
- Sprinkle the Kale into the warm Oil in the baking dish then pour in the batter and arrange the roasted veg on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed up, golden and cooked through.
- Roughly chop the remaining Thyme Sprigs, along with the leaves from the Rosemary Sprigs and the Sage Leaves. Mix with the Salt. Sprinkle over the dish to serve, along with a jug of piping hot gravy, some Mustard and Horseradish Sauce.
