Great ideas. Just do not put tomatoes
Celery root has a nice distinctive aroma and fragrance that would stand up. I would put it in cubes that will remain visible when the cabbage sort of melts. That is what happens with the carrots and the leaf celery that we use traditionally. Actually, along the years, my friends' wifes have all asked my oven recipe as it is so simple and nice looking. While their husbands are out to smoke ...
The apple with cabbage is almost a must and as it accompanies the pork with kindness it should be perfect. I would use those that maintain the acidity like Granny Smith. But than it becomes a rich man recipe, for a goose leg rather than for a rack of pork ribs. I would put orange juice and raisins and cranberries, if not granatæble frø, you might be familiar with those? If google translator has not played me a trick
