Ingredients

4 portobello mushroom caps, wiped clean and very thinly sliced

4 ribs celery and their green tops, thinly sliced on an angle 

Handful flat-leaf parsley, picked of stems but left whole 

1 lemon (Heads up: you'll need lemon zest for the pesto later, so zest and reserve before you cut this lemon to juice it for this salad.)

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it 

Coarse salt and black pepper

A couple of handfuls shaved Parmiginao-Reggiano

Directions

  1. Arrange the mushrooms and celery on a platter and scatter the parsley leaves around. Squeeze the lemon juice evenly over the platter then liberally drizzle the salad with extra-virgin olive oil, about 3 tablespoons. Season the salad with salt and lots of black pepper and toss with your finger tips to combine. Using a vegetable peeler, shave cheese and scatter a couple of handfuls Parmigiano-Reggiano over the salad.

This recipe is an old classic, with only moderate modern variations. I'm fond of Argentinian chef Francis Mallmanns variation- essentially the same minus parsley- and prana gradano rather than parmig regg. <div>The dish is surprisingly savory and meaty. The extra virgin and lemon dominate the subtle aroma of the raw celery and portabello, but they still contribute meaty crunch and texture, a creaminess from the portables, and savory glutamaic acid of both the parm and mushroom. </div><div>A good dish, but not complete on its own. Serve with Pinot noir and country bread as a side or small lunch.</div>
