ROUGH RECIPE:
Makes 3 Chubs (loafs for slicing into deli cuts)
-Smokey Marinated Roast Beast with Pepper Crust (Celeriac)
-Smokey Pepper Crusty Smoked Turkey’ (Celeriac)
-Smoked HOT BBQ Ham’ (Swede/Rutabaga)

Base Ingredients:
2 Celery Root, aka Celeriac, large soft ball size
1 Swede or called rutabaga, Soft ball size
Herbs:
Handful of sage, rosemary, and thyme (optional)

1 cup BBQ rub seasoning
1 cup black pepper, coarse ground
½ cup black pepper, fine ground
Salt, crystal flakes
Garlic, granulated.
Onion, granulated.
Smoked paprika.
Olive Oil

ROAST BEAST Slice MARINADE:
3 T Soy Sauce
1 T Browning Seasoning
1 tsp beet powder
½ Cup red wine or Veg broth or water

HOT BOX:
Hotbox Deli Root Veg Chubs
In Dutch oven add carrots to the bottom as a buffer, then add as many whole celeriac, Swede to it. I fit 3 in this batch. Roast for at least 60-75 minutes at 200c (400f) then check, if a skewer can pass through it easy then it is done. We are looking for al dente to slice once cool, not mushy to make mashed.

SMOKE:
Handful, Applewood Smoke chips, soaked ahead.
Smoke on low heat under 200f degrees for roughly 45-60 minutes on indirect heat.
This one is done on charcoal to start and wood finish.

Curry Mayo:

1 cup Vegan Mayo
2 Tbs Curry Seasoning

The recipies you show here are delicious, I know as I tried them after watching your previous vid. I don't have a smoker, but even unsmoked these are so tastey and fun.
I shared these sandwiches with others too and when you see them devour the food with huge smiles and exclamations of joy it's a real kick to see. Defo serious brownie points earned.
I am now a better cook being a vegetarian than before, where just slamming a piece of meat in a pan was the go to way of cooking. Now I have a far greater range of ingrediants and tastes.
As a side point, one of the people that tried the sandwich said it was the best they'd had, including the £18 burger they bought at a posh deli. Backs up the point you made re lack of choice.

Vegans are so creative. Those sandwiches look 🤤

I really love how you encourage people to put this on their menu and use your recipes because so many people are against others making money off of their creations, really shows what a wonderful human you are ❤ I love all your work!

I’m not even vegan, but this is the most incredible video I have ever watched in a very long time

[RozaTruchinski]

I love your comment about telling people you do what you want! Some people have nothing better to do! Love your videos! Your pup is adorably sweet! Thank you keep being you! 💚🥰

[petermaharajh]

Dude, I love your natural narration.
As a side note - I have made your brisket like 10 times now. Even my insane meat friends are blown away by it.
Can’t wait to try these.

[CrowClouds]

Might not be your favorite thing to do but I like hearing your voice, it's gentle and knowledgeable

[threadlovert]

I'll definitely be trying this. I prepared my root vegetables in my Dutch oven; however, I never thought about slicing them thinly to mimic deli slices. Thanks for sharing.

[davidsmith]

I could watch this dude make sandwiches all day! Amazing!

[Msyinett]

I should stop watching food videos before going grocery shopping

[desertrat]

This is so new to me, and I’ve been eating vegetarian and vegan for 15 years. Big thumbs up! 👍 so refreshing to see. And I like that you have a history of being a deli owner, of all things! Definitely helps bring something new to vegan cooking!

[iambrianaebony]

I click these videos thinking I’ll be intimidated, but the way Derek breaks everything down makes it seem so much more achievable… and delicious lol!!! Can’t wait to try and report back!

[stuartcampbell]

Every video of yours I watch I see the cool clicky flair you do with the tongs when you pick them up, and every time I pick up a set and try and fail to recreate it. It is the bane of my life

[CrowClouds]

I'm obsessed with this channel lmao. I always cooked really simple food, like three ingredient stuff for myself. Then I made something for my cats that was more complicated haha. Then I got a job washing dishes in a restaurant kitchen, and yesterday I bought a tofu press. I have no kitchen gadgets or utensils or tools or anything. Just a rice cooker and a dream

[koeba]

The celariac "ham" is sensational. I just made it, my sandwiches have never been bigger. I like it with my homemade kimchi. Thanks for the recipe !

[MsMona-qgjx]

I wish I could share a picture with you because the inspiration was real. I had tofu in the fridge and was going to add it to a salad. Howevaaaa...I made the best sandwich ever for dinner because I watched this video three times today while working. I know... bad girl. But oh, so good food. Thank you for all you do. 🙌🏾🙌🏾💜💜

[NAKEDBURN]

dude your passion for food is seriouslu contagous, i really love to cook and sometimes ppl think im too much about describing foods so i love when i listen to people get excited about vegan food like i do <3

[gregdimond]

I made the celery root turkey this weekend. Will definitely keep doing that.

[joannrector]

I love the idea of veggies instead of meat. Vegetables have so much flavor!

[kimberlywalls]

I saw so many recipes for deli slices made with wheat gluten but this is the first ive seen with whole vegetables! Amazing! Will definitely be giving these a try!
