Cut the celeriac root from the celeriac bulb and plant in a flowerpot: slice off bottom root crown, about 1”, plant in flowerpot, keep moist, will grow stalks, use celeriac stalks for cooking.

Dice a 1/2” slice of fresh celeriac in squares, makes 16 dice. Use four dice per cup of broth to make bone broth, chicken broth, beef soup or vegetable broth. My cookpad soup and broth recipes use celeriac, mace and lovage as flavor enhancers.

Ferment the vegetables: layer alternating slices of celeriac, beet, celeriac stalks, fresh or dried lovage in glass jar, cover with water, pour back out to measure, probably two cups. Boil cup of vinegar, cup of soy sauce, Tbs mace and enough water with two Tsp of Seasalt to cover vegetables, cool, immerse. Seal off any air with a beet leaf on top and a weight press in the glass jar to keep celeriac submerged. Ferment in dark pantry, taste weekly for intensity till tasty.
