Celery root with meat and olive oil is a Turkish home-style dish in which chunks of celeriac are simmered with meat and olive oil. Cooks may add onion and carrot, and a little lemon is often used to brighten the earthy flavour. The result is more substantial than a meat-free olive-oil vegetable dish.
It is usually served warm as a main course, often with rice or a side of yoghurt. The celeriac turns tender while keeping its distinctive, gently earthy taste, complemented by savoury meat. It offers fibre from the vegetable and protein from the meat; for a lighter plate, use olive oil sparingly and serve it with salad instead of rice.
