Christmas Dinner Idea

I wanted to try out an idea for Christmas dinner to see if it would work. I thought that a roasted Celeriac with bread sauce might be a nice alternative to turkey that my little pkuer could have. It worked out really well and my wife and I agreed that it was actually a nice alternative to meat for any roast dinner (My wife, Keir and I liked it however it wasn’t a hit with my 6 year old daughter). Visually I thought it looked really good and it sliced easily and looked the part. Below please find my recipe for the Celeriac and bread sauce. I would love to hear how you got on with it and if you have any questions, tips or improvements I would love to hear those too. (Keir’s Dad).

Easy PKU friendly roast dinner main

  4. Add salt, pepper, garlic, mix herbs and butter on top and around of the celeriac
