Roasted celeriac with pasta on a bed of kale.

This is delicious winter dish that is beatifull in its simplicity. I've developed a passion for seasonal food and kale is one of recent discoveries in my kitchen, so there was the idea to use it in this dish. Celeriac on the other hand is an ingredient that I'm familiar with since childhood but recently I have been looking for new uses for it. I bought a whole celeriac with its leaves and used them in other dish as garnish. First of all this is what you will need to serve four:

1. Celeriac whole.
2. Kale whole (or black cabbage).
3. Whole wheat pasta 300g cooked according to the instruction on the packaging.
4. One lime.
5. Olive oil, cold pressed rapeseed oil for roasting, salt and pepper.

Celeriac needs to be peeled and washed cut to chip size pieces (thinner cut means shorter roasting) and soften up in boiling water for around three minutes, after which I pat dried it befofere placing it on the roasting tray and drizzling it with rapeseed oil ( two table spoons). Roast the celeriac for approximately an hour in an oven preheated to 200° C. Kale needs to be steamed for around ten minutes. Pasta cooked and rinsed in cold water. And that is essentially it. Lay out a bed of kale on the plate and squeeze some lime juice on it season with salt and pepper. Add a layer of pasta an dress it with olive oil. Finish of by adding on a layer of roasted celeriac. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste and enjoy.
