Apio is a Sephardi dish of cooked celery root in lemon juice, sometimes with the addition of carrot, that&#039;s served at room temperature. My version here includes potatoes too, but those are optional.

Sephardi celery root and carrot in lemon (apio)

celery roots

carrots

purple baby potatoes (or any baby potatoes)

*corn oil oil oil

lemon juice

sugar

Bring to boil salted water in a saucepan.

To peel the celery root, cut off its top and bottom. Place root on its bottom, and using a sharp knife, cut off peel from top to bottom, following the shape of the root. Repeat with the second root and wash thoroughly to remove dirt. Slice roots in half and each half to three wedges, then cut each wedge to ¼ inch slices. Keep in a bowl.

Peel carrots and slice to ¼ inch. Add to celery root.

Wash potatoes, peel and slice into ¼ inch slices. Cook in the salted water just until fork tender. Strain and keep aside in a large serving bowl.

Put oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add sliced celery root and carrot, cook while stirring for 3 minutes. Add ½ cup boiling water, lemon juice, sugar and salt and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook for about 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Pour cooked vegetables and juices over cooked potatoes, mix gently and let sit until the salad reaches room temperature. Mix gently, adjust salt to taste and serve.

hummus

radishes

shallots

small cauliflower florets

milliliters white wine or cider vinegar

sea salt flakes

tsp yellow mustard seeds

tsp caraway seeds

tsp black peppercorns

coriander seeds

red chilli

tsp black mustard seeds

fenugreek seeds

cayenne pepper

mangoes

white wine vinegar

lime juice

tahini

To make the pickles, put all the veg in a sterilised 1-litre jar. Put the vinegar, sugar, salt and spices in a pan with 400ml water and bring to the boil. Leave to cool, then pour over the veg. Seal and leave to pickle at room temperature for 48 hrs. Will keep in the fridge for up to four weeks.

To make the amba sauce, heat the oil in a pan set over a medium heat, then cook the garlic and chilli until just soft. Tip in the spices and cook for 1 min, add the mango and stir to coat, then add the vinegar, sugar and 100ml water. Cover and simmer for 10-15 mins until the mango is soft. Season to taste and squeeze over the lime juice. Will keep in the fridge for up to one week.

For the tahini sauce, combine the ingredients with 80ml water and season to taste. It should be the consistency of double cream.

Toss the tomatoes, cucumber and spring onions with the oil, season and squeeze over the lemon juice.

Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the aubergines in batches for 5-8 mins on each side until just golden. Season, then reduce the heat and continue to cook until soft.

Toast and split open the pittas, then stuff with the aubergine slices, eggs, hummus, salad, pickles and amba sauce. Drizzle over the tahini sauce to serve.
