CELERY ROOT PUREE



Celery Root Puree image

I joke that celery root tastes like celery if celery actually tasted good; for the most part, this is true. The flavor is quite mild and pleasant, and the texture is somewhat similar to mashed potatoes. This simple puree is a very versatile side dish, but the tasty root will also work sliced thin and layered in a gratin, either with or without potatoes. I hope you give this great fall and winter vegetable a try soon.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1 1/4-pound celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
Celery salt

Steps:

  • Peel and Cut the Celery Root Properly: Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the celery root, removing any blemishes or discolored areas. Cut the celery root into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the celery root and potatoes liberally. This will help to bring out their natural flavors and make the dish more flavorful.
  • Cook Until Tender: Be patient and cook the celery root and potatoes until they are completely tender. This may take a little longer than you think, but it's worth it for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a High-Quality Stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a good-quality vegetable or chicken stock for the best results.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the celery root and potato puree with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or tarragon for an extra pop of flavor and color.
