Celeriac “Schnitzel” with Mushroom Sauce

There is a light obsession with celeriac going on here, I have to tell you. I love the hearty sweetness of roasted celeriac and the oat crust makes everything even more delicious, not even to mention the delicious creamy mushroom sauce!

I served mine with a delicious yummy Creamy White Bean Warm Salad but it would be great with anything that you wish. Let me know if you want the recipe for the Creamy Beans also and I promise to post it soon!! 

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
Serves 2-3 people

  • ½ cup oats, grounded slightly 

Mushroom sauce: 

  • 200g button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
