This is the best meal I’ve made in a long time. I just finished flipping through Real Food Heals, by Seamus Mullen. Everything in there looks delicious, and I was looking for a dish that I could make with what I had on hand. I decided to combine two of his recipes into one, and it worked really well. I love it! The celeriac noodles are delicious. I’ve never spiralized them before (I use this spiralizer) and was surprised at how well they held up. I cooked them a bit longer than he recommends for his Celery Root Noodles with Sun Gold Tomatoes, Anchovies and Basil. I didn’t have any anchovies but did have some really great tuna in olive oil so I borrowed the tuna and herbs from the Quinoa Salad with Cucumbers, Herbs and Tuna on page 76. After I plated it and took a photo, I topped it with parmesan cheese, but I don’t really think that it added anything, so next time, I’ll keep it out. I’m really looking forward to trying more of the recipes in the book. They’re all gluten free and I really like his heavy use of both herbs and vegetables. Tonight I’ll be making a Steamed Pistou-Rubbed Monkfish Fillets Wrapped in Collards.
- 3 TBS cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large or 2 small celeriac roots, peeled and spiralized
- 8 oz (approx) of tuna packed in olive oil, drained and flaked (I used two of these jars)
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 2 TBS lemon juice
- chopped basil and parsley
- sea salt, fresh black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add the olive oil and pine nuts. Cook for about 3 min until golden.
- Add the garlic and sauté for another few minutes
- Next, add the celeriac, tuna and broth. Toss well with tongs and then cover.
- Allow the mixture to steam for about 5-7 min, or until celeriac is soft but still holds its shape.
- Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with herbs, and season to taste.

Looks yummy. What is your favorite spiralizer these days?
Try this one! http://amzn.to/2z6p9yY
I’m not sure what celeriac root is. I’m guessing it’s different than regular organic celery? Help!! The recipe looks yummy but I need to find the celeriac root
It’s a related but different vegetable – look for it near the beets and cabbage in the grocery store or ask your produce manager. Farmer’s Markets usually have it.
can i use tuna packed in water and then add olive oil?
Sure. I just personally prefer the taste of tuna in oil.
I cannot wait to try this!!! Celery root is one of my favorite things. I bet it’s so yummy this way.
