Salad of abalone, pork and celeriac recipe
- Cuisine: Modern Australian
- Serves 4
Ingredients
1 small whole celeriac
2 golden shallots, sliced on the diagonal (soak them in warm water first to make it easier to peel skin away)
2 tspn smooth Dijon mustard
1 tbspn white wine vinegar
5 tbspn olive oil
10 salted capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
Salt, fresh black pepper
1.25 dessertspoons flat leaf parsley, chopped finely
1 abalone, kept live in freezer until used
Olive oil
2 spring onions, sliced finely on the diagonal
200g pork confit from the cheek or belly cut into 4 slices*
* If you cannot obtain pork confit, use crisped pancetta, not the same but a nice alternative
Preparation
Peel the celeriac and shred finely.
Make a vinaigrette by combining the mustard, oil, vinegar, capers and herbs. Reserve one tablespoon of vinaigrette and mix the rest through the grated celeriac.
Allow to stand with the celeriac for an hour or so, so the flavours can get to know one another. Taste again; it should have a slight sharpness to counter the richness of the pork and abalone.
Scrub the abalone with a nail brush or toothbrush, trim away muscle and slice very finely, almost vertically. Heat 2 or 3 tablespoons of the oil in a wok to very hot. Sear the abalone, tossing all the time, for 45 secs only. Do not overcook. Remove and then wilt the spring onion briefly in the wok.
Heat the pork confit in a moderately hot oven until slightly crisp.
Assemble the dish by spooning a quarter of the celeriac on the middle of four plates, cover with the crisp pork, then the abalone and spring onions. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the dish and season with pepper. and if desired, sprinkle over a little chopped parsley.

Hot Tips
Steaming fish - hot tip
When steaming fish, slice through flesh for even cooking. This allows the heat to penetrate the thicker parts of the fish, preventing the thinner parts (especially near the tail) from overcooking. If marinating the fish before cooking, this also allows the flesh to absorb the flavours.
Glossary
Arrowroot
Extract of the maranta root it is a flavourless starch, ideally used for thickening sauces, juices and syrups; when heated the starch turns to jelly and so thickens the liquid.
