I had some leftover celeriac from a different recipe, and it had been in the fridge for a couple weeks. I planned to grill some veggies for dinner last night and wondered if grilling the celeriac could be an option. Did a quick Google search and found your recipe. It was SO good, really tasty, and my husband enjoyed it too. I'll be making this often. The only thing I couldn't figure out was where the lemon juice comes in, so I didn't use it.
Thank you for posting this delicious recipe!
