Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Pop a roasting tin in the oven to heat up. Slice the skin from the celeriac with a sharp knife, slicing the roots off at an angle. Give it and your board a good wash. Chop the celeriac into small chunks. Quarter the lemons.

  • 2.

    Remove the hot tin from the oven and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the celeriac and lemon. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast for 40 mins.

  • 3.

    While the celeriac roasts, place a small frying pan on the heat for a few mins. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the buckwheat. Stir and fry for 3-5 mins till browned and nutty. Tip into a bowl to cool.

  • 4.

    Set the baby spinach leaves in a separate bowl. Finely chop the mint leaves and add those.

  • 5.

    When the celeriac has roasted for 40 mins, remove it from the oven. Lift out the lemon wedges. Pour over 1 tbsp honey and sprinkle over 1 tsp caraway seeds. Turn the celeriac over to coat it in the seeds and honey. Scatter over the cashews and slide back into the oven for 10 mins.

  • 6.

    Meanwhile, squeeze the roasted lemon wedges into a jug. Whisk in 1 tbsp honey and ½ tbsp oil. Add a good pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 7.

    Remove the celeriac from the oven and leave to cool slightly. Toss most of the lemon dressing through the spinach and divide between 2 plates. Top with the celeriac, cashews and buckwheat. Drizzle over the remaining dressing to serve.
