Peel and chop the celeriac using a sharp knife, ensuring a stable base by cutting the ends off.

Heat a frying pan over medium to high heat and add butter to brown the celeriac.

Carefully place the celeriac in the pan and brown on both sides, checking after about 5 minutes.

Transfer the browned celeriac to an oven-proof dish.

In the same frying pan, reduce the heat to low and add garlic, sage, and black pepper to the residual butter, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Pour the garlic and herb mixture over the celeriac in the dish, ensuring even distribution.

Add lemon juice and enough vegetable stock to come halfway up the celeriac.

Tuck in 2 bay leaves and cover the dish with foil.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and place the dish in the oven.

Cook covered for 10-15 minutes, then uncover and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes, checking for tenderness and reducing the liquid to create a sauce.

Remove from the oven and serve, enjoying the rich, savory flavors.
