Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
Cook apples, ¾ cup of the cider, vinegar and cayenne in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until soft, like apple sauce. When done, turn heat to low.
Step 3
Meanwhile, toss celery roots and onions in a tablespoon of the olive oil, then spread on baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes in oven.
Step 4
Coat fish in the dried mushrooms; then, saute at high heat in a mixture of one tablespoon of the olive oil combined with the walnut oil for a few minutes on each side. Then, put in oven for a few minutes. Fish are cooked when flaky. (Chicken breasts may take slightly longer to cook in the oven.)
Step 5
Peel the onions.
Step 6
Saute sliced mushrooms in the remaining olive oil. Add kale and cook for a minute or two; then, add the onions, celery root, juice of one lemon and the remaining cider and mix together.
Step 7
To serve, spread apple sauce on a plate; put fish or chicken or top of that, and put vegetable mixture on top of that.
