Celeriac With Butter And Lemon - Céleri - Rave Saute - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs celeriac (celery root)
    2 ounces butter, unsalted
    2 tablespoons corn oil or 2 tablespoons olive oil
    salt
    pepper
    1 lemon, juice of
    2 tablespoons chopped tarragon, or
    2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Preparation
    Peel the celeriac and cut into 1 inch thick slices. Cut each slice into 8 or 10 pieces (batons) and drop into a panful of fast-boiling, salted water.
    Blanch for 3 minutes only, drain and pat dry in a cloth.
    Heat the butter and oil in a large iron frying pan over medium heat and, when the butter froths, arrange the celeriac pieces in the bottom in one layer.
    Season, increase the heat slightly and saute until golden brown, turning the pieces with a spatula and shaking the pan to prevent sticking.
    When ready to serve, sprinkle with lemon juice and chopped herbs.
    Shake and saute again and correct seasoning if necessary.
    Turn into a heated serving dish and serve immediately.
