Slice off the top and bottom of the celeriac to create a flat base.

Peel the celeriac by scoring around it with a peeler.

Chop the celeriac into small chunks suitable for a food processor.

Add chopped onions, carrots, and mushrooms to the food processor with the celeriac and blitz until combined.

Add four garlic cloves to the mixture.

Add sweet paprika, hot paprika, ground cumin, and salt to the mixture.

Add Dijon mustard and olive oil, then mix everything together by hand until well combined.

Add one whole bottle of Isle of Wight passata to the mixture and mix it in.

Pour the mixture into a baking dish and place it in the oven.

Roast in the oven for one and a half hours, stirring halfway through and adding more cider if needed.

After roasting, check the mixture and taste it.

Spread sunflower spread thickly on the hamburger buns and pan-fry them until crispy.

Assemble the sloppy joes by scooping a generous amount of the mixture onto the buns and adding pickles on top.
