Here is a futurist recipe, an original combination of citrus and half a glass of orange liqueur. Scald the smooth venuses in a little boiling water to open them. Heat the oil in a deep pan and fry the onion. As soon as it turns golden toss in the venuses. Leave for 2 minutes and then remove. Next add the celeriac. Quench with the wine and vinegar. Mix the strips of orange rind, the orange juice and the corn flour in a bowl. When the broth in the pan has reduced to half, add the contents of the bowl. Stir rapidly and leave to simmer. When the mixture has thickened, add the venuses and the liqueur. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you wish, use half lemon, half orange juice. Serve hot.
