About

Eels and the Scandinavians go together like a horse and carriage. Smoked eel is widely available and delicious. However, I got the impression that I had put my foot in it when I innocently mentioned to one patriot that most of the breeding stock of their beloved eels came from Gloucestershire and Somerset!

Ingredients

1 bulb of celeriac, peeled and cut into matchstick pieces
a good handful of fresh mixed herbs (chives, parsley,

Method

Combine the ingredients for the salad - in other words, the celeriac and the chopped mixed herbs. Add a good squeeze of lemon juice and drizzle over the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and chill.

Next make the parsley sauce. Put the ingredients into a blender or food processor, whizz together for a few seconds, tip out into a jug, season and refrigerate.
