This koji-marinated celeriac recipe sounds exotic but it's actually incredibly easy – the hardest part is sourcing some shio koji (an ingredient used in Japanese fermenting)! Marinating the celeriac wedges in the liquid both seasons the vegetable and brings its natural flavour to the fore.

Cut the celeriac into 16 wedges and place into a dish. Pour over the shio koji and rub evenly all over the wedges. Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge to marinate for 2 days
When ready to cook, place a griddle pan over a very high heat. Wipe the celeriac with kitchen paper to remove any excess koji, then chargrill until dark defined lines appear on all sides. Transfer to a clean baking dish

Place the celeriac in the oven and cook for 5 minutes, or until cooked through but still slightly crunchy

Meanwhile, heat a pan over a medium heat and add a small knob of butter. Add the three-cornered garlic with a splash of water and cook for a few minutes until wilted
