CREAM OF PINK LADY® APPLES AND CELERY WITH SOY MILK, THYME AND LEMON

Ingredients for 4 servings
 
  • 1 celeriac
  • 2 Pink Lady® apples
  • 1 litre soy milk
  • A drizzle olive oil for decoration
  • a sprig of fresh thyme
  • the juice of 1 lemon
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube
  • 12 leaves from a celery stalk; fried
  • a pinch of fine salt (fleur de sel)
  • a grind of pepper
  • celeriac chips (1/2 celeriac)
  • 1 Pink Lady® apple sliced into sticks
  • 4 dried tomato slices

 
 

Let’s go !

  • 1- Peel the celeriac and chop into large pieces. Put the celeriac in a saucepan and cover with the chicken broth or water and let cook. Meanwhile, peel the apples, slice them into large pieces and cook them with a little bit of water, a small piece of butter and the sprig of fresh thyme, covered with a lid. Mix the apples with the celeriac, thin with the soy milk and season to taste.
  • 2- Cook the celery chips and the celery leaves in a deep fryer without letting them colour too much, and then drain them on absorbent paper. Without peeling it, cut the Pink Lady® apple into sticks, and drizzle some lemon juice over to keep the apple sticks from turning brown.

 
 
The special touch
Arrange the apple sticks in a square bowl. Place the dried tomato slices and the sprig of thyme on top of the apple sticks and drizzle with the olive oil. Add a pinch of fine salt and a grind of pepper. Serve the cream piping hot, separately.
