- 1 yellow onion, cut into 1" pieces
- 4 celery ribs, cut into 1" pieces
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1" pieces
- 3 apples, skinned, seeded, cored, cut into quarters
- 1 pint Calvados
- 1 pint of white wine
- 1 pint apple cider
- 10 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 bay leaf
- 10 each black peppercorns
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 1 pint veal demi-glace
- salt & pepper, to taste
Celery Root Puree:
- 2 each celery root, peeled, cut into pieces
- 1 apple, skinned, seeded, cored, cut into 1" pieces
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons butter
- salt & pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- 4 ounces bacon, sliced very thin and cooked until crispy, cool to room temperature
- 1 bunch frisee
- 1/2 apple, julienne
- 1 bunch chives, chopped
- 1 ounce extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 ounce balsamic vinegar
Pork:
In a large sauté pan heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Season the pork well on all sides with salt and pepper. Sear the pork and transfer to a large enough pan that you can put a lid on top and that will hold all of the ingredients. Add the yellow onion, celery, carrots and apples to the pork. Cook for five minutes until all ingredients are coated. Remove the contents from the pan and set aside.
Deglaze the sauté pan (original pan that you used to sear the pork) with the Calvados, and then add the pork and vegetables pack to the sauté pan. Add the white wine, apple cider, herbs, garlic and the rest of the aromatics to the pot. Stir ingredients and bring liquids to a simmer. Reduce until almost dry. Add the chicken stock and veal demi and stir. Bring ingredients to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and place in a 300° oven for 2 hours or until tender. Remove the pork shanks and strain the braising liquid through a fine mesh strainer. Reduce to desired consistency. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
Celery Root Purée:
Over medium heat in a sauce pan, cover the celery root with milk and cook until soft (about twenty minutes). Add the apples and cook until just done. Strain the ingredients. Purée the celery root and the apple with the heavy cream and whole butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish:
Place bacon, frisee, julienne of apples, and chives in a bowl, toss and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Plate:
Place an equal amount of celery root puree in each of the four bowls. Place a pork shank on top. Drizzle with the reduced sauce. Equally divide salad amongst plates and garnish with balsamic vinegar. ENJOY!
