Celeriac & nashi salad with schnitzels

Prep 30 mins | Cook 8 mins | Serves 4

¹⁄₃ cup whole egg mayonnaise
¹⁄₄ cup crème fraîche or sour cream
2 tbs lemon juice
1¹⁄₂ tbs Dijon mustard
1 small (about 450g) celeriac
1 nashi pear
Rice bran oil or olive oil, for pan frying
4 crumbed veal or chicken schnitzels
Mixed salad greens and lemon wedges, to serve

STEP 1 Combine mayonnaise, crème fraîche or sour cream, 1 tbs lemon juice and mustard in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

STEP 2 Add remaining 1 tbs lemon juice to a bowl of cold water. Peel and quarter celeriac and place in lemon water (this prevents browning). Using a shredder, finely shred celeriac, a quarter at a time, and add to mayonnaise mixture. Quarter and core nashi, finely shred the same as the celeriac. Stir nashi through celeriac mixture. Set aside.

STEP 3 Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add schnitzels and cook for 2-4 minutes (depending on thickness) on each side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel. Serve schnitzels with celeriac & nashi salad, mixed salad leaves and lemon wedges.
