Best 6 Celery Root And Pear Slaw Recipes

CELERY ROOT SLAW

Steps:

• Coarsely grate 1 pound peeled celery root. Toss with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 tablespoons warm water in a colander; let sit 20 minutes. Rinse and drain. Whisk the juice of 1 lemon and 1/4 cup each dijon mustard and sour cream in a bowl, then whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the celery root, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Chill. Add 1/4 cup chopped parsley before serving.

PAN-SEARED CHICKEN WITH PEAR SLAW

Steps:

• Brown the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the canola oil. Arrange the chicken on a tray in a single layer, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, use a pair of metal tongs to carefully add the pieces, skin-side down, to the oil. Do not overcrowd the skillet. Allow them to sear, flipping every 2 to 3 minutes, until the chicken is browned and an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes total.
• Make the dressing: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice wine vinegar, sugar, cumin, coriander and garlic with a generous pinch of salt.
• Prepare the slaw: Stir the pears and celery into the dressing and toss to completely coat. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Serve: Arrange the chicken breasts on a platter (or individual plates) and top with the slaw.
