Recipe Reviews
friederike from Berlin,
It was slightly remiscent of a Waldorf salad, with the grated celeriac, the nuts and the apples/pears in it; however, to use an old frase, it didn't quite come together as a dish. DB complained that the bacon was too salty in comparison to the rest (which I thought was part of the idea), but he had a point that it was quite difficult to get pear, bacon, celeriac and lamb's lettuce on your fork in one go. I missed a dressing, and I think this might have the whole insular-ingredient-issue.
The recipe indicates using bacon, but the picture looked much more like a smoked or cured ham, so that's what I used. Bacon probably would have worked just as well.
We served this as a starter with the Pumpkin Risotto with Sage and Parmesan as a main and Lemon Moussse as dessert - a wonderful seasonal and easy to prepare menu, although the season just didn't behave accordingly.
