I love a new gadget – anything to make life easier. So I was delighted to discover the new Microplane Y-Peeler with Julienne Blade. I couldn’t wait to try it out. As it’s summer and I’ve been lighting up the barbecue at every possible opportunity I decided to experiment with a new version of coleslaw. And my new peeler is perfect for creating uniform strips of vegetables.
Creamy beetroot, carrot, celeriac and chive coleslaw
1 cooked beetroot
2 carrots, peeled
1 celeriac, peeled
2 large handfuls of chives
1 small handful of mint
200ml mayonnaise
Slice the beetroot, carrots and celeriac with the Microplane Julienne Slicer.
Mix the mayonnaise with the chives and mint.
Combine the vegetables and mayonnaise mix.
A simple yet delicious recipe that goes perfectly with all my barbecued dishes.
The Microplane Y-Peeler with Julienne Blade is part of the new Microplane Professional Y Peelers range. It comes with an ultra-sharp stainless-steel blade with mini sharp teeth for cutting vegetables into uniform julienne sticks. It’s incredibly easy to use and makes creating my delightful coleslaw ever-so quick and easy.
The range also includes the Y-Shaped Peeler with Straight Blade and Y-Shaped Peeler with Serrated Blade. Both retail for £21.95.
The Y-Shaped Peeler with Julienne retails for £24.95.
All peelers are available from John Lewis.
