A new take on champ using Italian kale-like cabbage, bacon and celeriac, a versatile root that's lighter than potato
Ingredients
- 1 ½kg celeriac, peeled and cut into chunks
- 200g smoked bacon lardon
- 250g cavolo nero or green cabbage, finely shredded
- 50g butter
- 4 tbsp double cream
Method
-
Boil the celeriac in a covered pan for 15-20 mins or until tender. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan and cook the bacon for 5 mins until golden and crisp. Add the cavolo nero or cabbage and cook over a low heat for 5 mins.
