If you happen to live any where near Arundel on the Gold Coast I would highly recommend this greengrocer I discovered yesterday, "Fruit & Veg 4U", at Arundel Plaza on Napper Rd, Arundel. I was doing a ring around trying to find golden baby beetroots so I could attempt Donna Hay's Crispy Duck with Spiced Beets. I spoke to the very helpful Domenic at Fruit and Veg 4U who told me he would try and get them at the Brisbane markets for me this morning. He did get them and promptly rang me on my mobile to let me know they would be at his shop today. If you ever need anything a little unusual or hard to find Domenic is at the markets up to 5 mornings a week and is happy to try and get what you need. What a wonderful service!
Whilst at the shop I also picked up some fresh peas..could have done with those a few weeks ago rather than substituting shelled snow peas (much smaller and took FOR EVER to shell!!)...and celeriac as I have never cooked or tried it. Celeriac apparently has a mild but distinctive flavour - a cross between celery and parsley. Thought I would try a Celeriac Mash with my Duck. Mash recipe below.
Celeriac mash
1 large (about 850g) celeriac, trimmed, peeled, coarsely chopped
1kg sebago (brushed) potatoes, peeled, coarsely chopped
125ml (1/2 cup) thickened cream
40g (1/2 cup) shredded parmesan
Cook the celeriac and potato in a saucepan of boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain. Return to pan. Use a potato masher or fork to mash until smooth. Add cream and parmesan and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
