Celeriac tacos with guacamole and Voghiera Black Garlic

The second stop on this culinary journey with Chef Mattia Borroni and Azzurra Gasperini. After Rome, where we sampled a classic Roman-style artichoke dish—with a slight twist—today we’re hopping on a flight to Mexico! It’s right here in the warm lands of Mexico that we find these delicious celeriac tacos with guacamole and Voghiera black garlic. Is your mouth watering yet? Ours certainly is—let’s get started!
Ingredients for 4 tacos
  • 1 celeriac
  • 1 very ripe avocado
  • 1/2 red onion
  • Red wine vinegar
  • 1 Head of Lettuce
  • 6 raspberries
  • 1 Lime
  • 1 red chili pepper (not too spicy)
  • 1 clove of Voghiera D.O.P. garlic
  • 4 cloves of Nero di Voghiera garlic
  • Oil and Maldon Salt

PROCEDURE

We begin by cooking the celeriac: we will prepare it whole, well-coated with salt and oil, cooking it en papillote in a convection oven for 2 hours at 170°C, taking care to ensure the core temperature reaches approximately 90°C. Once cooked, let it cool and slice it thinly.

Sear the celeriac slices on a griddle as if they were normal tacos, without adding any fat: remove them from the heat as soon as they have become crispy.

Then, prepare the guacamole: combine the avocado in a mortar with Voghiera Garlic PDO, chopped chili pepper, and the juice of one lime; crush carefully until a coarse paste is obtained, using a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to provide consistency. Finally, add one chopped clove of Voghiera Black Garlic and Maldon salt to taste.

Next, boil a small pot of salted water to which we will add red wine vinegar in a 4:1 ratio; blanch the onion wedges here for a few seconds, then cool in ice water to stop the cooking: this will serve to remove the typical pungent flavor and mellow it.

Finally, assemble the tacos: spread a generous spoonful of guacamole on each, followed by some lettuce leaves previously cut into strips, pieces of onion, raspberry slices, and thinly sliced Voghiera Black Garlic.

The taco is an extremely versatile dish: while the tortilla can be crispy or softer depending on where you are, when it comes to the filling, the only limit is your imagination!
