Here's a recipe I've fallen in love with lately that brings together the most wonderful flavors. Bison is such a lean, nutrient rich meat that's become easier to find, and it pairs beautifully with earthy celery root in this dish. What I appreciate most is how quick it comes together, ready in under 45 minutes from start to table. The crispy celery salad adds a refreshing contrast to the tender grilled meat, while the roasted celery root becomes incredibly creamy. It's elegant enough for company but simple enough for a weeknight dinner, and honestly, it won't break the bank either.

Toss celery root cubes with 20ml of olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Spread on a baking tray and roast at 200°C for 20 minutes until golden and tender.
Tip: Roasting the celery root develops sweetness and a lovely caramelized exterior.

While the celery root roasts, make the salad by combining sliced fresh celery and shallots in a bowl. Whisk together remaining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour over the celery mixture.
