Boil the kettle. Peel, halve and finely chop the onion. Melt the butter in a
medium pan, stir in the onion, add a generous pinch of salt, cover and
leave to soften while you quarter then peel the celeriac. Chop into bite-sized
chunks. Peel the potato, chunk as before, rinse and shake dry. Stir both

seasoning with salt and lemon juice.
