One-Pot Citrusy Winter Root Vegetables
This One-Pot Citrusy Winter Root Vegetables dish is a Turkish vegan and gluten-free recipe that my mother used to prepare during the winter months. It features celeriac, carrots, potatoes, and orange juice. This light side dish or winter salad can be served either warm or cold.
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 2 medium-sized celery roots, also called celeriac, (1 ½- 2 pounds in total) – peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium-sized potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
- ½ cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons good olive oil
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- ¼ cup fresh dill, rinsed and coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Place the onion, garlic, celery root, potato, and carrot in a large pan with a lid.
- Drizzle it with the orange juice and olive oil. Stir in the sugar, salt, and pepper. Give it a large stir.
- Cover and cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until the celeriac and potatoes are cooked through.
- Stir in the peas and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
- Taste for seasoning and add in if necessary.
- Garnish it with fresh dill.
- You can serve this dish immediately or let it come to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the fridge and serve cold as a side dish for the next 2-3 days.
Notes
If you prefer, you can also make this dish with lemon juice instead of orange juice. If you choose to do so, I recommend increasing the sugar to 2 tablespoons.
