Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse celery root; scrub with a brush and rinse under running water to remove any stubborn soil. Do not peel.
Dry with a paper towel. Cut the roots at the bottom of the bulb to make a flat surface large enough so that the celery bulb is stable standing on this flat end.
Place root in a baking dish. Brush or drizzle with olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Bake celery root for 60-90 minutes, or until the root is soft inside. Slice into 4-6 pieces.
While the celery root is baking, mix the ingredients for the leek butter. Cook the pork chop—either in a frying pan or on the grill. Serve celery root and pork, side-by-side, topped with the leek butter.
