A celery family salad, this dish brings together seasonal Fenland celery, leaves and all, with celeriac and ham hock – a great all-round meat that sits very happily in this warm and flavour-filled winter salad.
Mark Hix says; “For just eight short weeks from late autumn and in the run-up to Christmas, I make the most of Fenland celery – a fantastic dwarf winter white variety grown in Cambridgeshire – in a whole host of dishes. Originally grown by the Victorians, this unique variety is banked up to keep the tender stems white. Boasting a terrific flavour, cooked or raw, my advice is to get it while you can.”
