Broccolini and Celeriac with Spicy Bread

celeriac
broccolini
60g. of sandwich bread, crust removed
2 TBSP. of tomato paste
Garlic
Salt
Fresh chili pepper
Extra virgin olive oil

Blend the cubed bread with the chopped chili pepper (according to your taste, we used 2), the tomato paste, and 2 teaspoons of oil; collect the mixture and pack it down into a loaf. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it chill in the freezer for 2 hours.

FOR THE VEGETABLES: trim the broccolini and the celeriac; cut both into pieces. Boil the broccolini in salted water for 3-4 minutes and drain. Sauté it in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a crushed clove of garlic. Season with salt. Sauté the celeriac in a pan with a tablespoon of hot oil and a pinch of salt for 10 minutes. 

Remove the loaf from the freezer and shave it onto a dish. Cook it in the microwave for 2 minutes at 900 W. Top the vegetables with the bread shavings and serve.
