Best 8 Potato Celery Root And Jerusalem Artichoke Purée Recipes

GRILLED ARTICHOKE AND CELERY ROOT PUREE

Steps:

• For the celery root: Place the celery root in a 5-quart saucepan. Fill the pan halfway full with cold water. Add the butter and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• For the artichokes: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. In a medium bowl, toss together the artichokes, oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Grill, turning with a spatula occasionally, until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Place the artichokes in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the cooked celery root, milk, butter, salt and pepper to the food processor. Blend, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the celery root is smooth and blends into the artichoke mixture. Transfer the puree to a serving bowl or keep warm over low heat in a large saucepan until ready to serve.

CELERY ROOT AND POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot large enough to accommodate the celery root and the potatoes. Add enough water to cover the vegetables by 2 inches and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the celery root and cook until both vegetables are fork tender. Strain the celery root and potatoes.
• Pour the cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, pass the celery root and potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl. Add one-quarter of the hot cream and 2 pats of the butter. Stir vigorously until the cream and butter are thoroughly combined. Repeat for the remaining cream and butter. Taste for seasoning, you will probably have to add salt. Serve in a warm serving bowl immediately or keep warm until ready to use.

CELERY ROOT-POTATO PURéE

Steps:

• Put the celery root, potatoes and garlic cloves in a soup pot. Cover with cold water and salt generously, then boil over medium-high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and press through a ricer or the large holes of a food mill, then return to the pot. (If you prefer a rough-textured purée, mash with an electric beater or a hand-held potato-masher.)
• Over medium-low heat, whisk in the milk or half-and-half until the thickness of the purée is to your liking. It shouldn't be too stiff. Whisk in the butter and incorporate. Taste for salt and adjust. Make sure the purée is heated through. May be made up to 2 hours in advance, held at room temperature, and reheated in a double boiler.

CELERY ROOT PUREE

Steps:

• Place celery root, 1/2 of the lemon juice, and kosher salt in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
• Blend celery root, cream, and butter in a blender until smooth. Push puree into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer with a wooden spoon or spatula until puree is completely smooth. Drizzle remaining lemon juice into puree and season with salt and cayenne pepper.

CELERY ROOT AND POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• Put celery root, thyme sprig, and garlic into a small saucepan. Cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add 2 teaspoons salt and the potato. Simmer until vegetables are very soft, about 10 minutes.
• Drain; discard thyme sprig. Transfer vegetable mixture to a food processor. Add milk and butter, and process until just pureed. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with thyme. Serve with a pat of butter.

PURéE OF THREE ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a kettle combine the potatoes, peeled and halved, the celery root or Jerusalem artichokes, and the carrots with cold water to cover and simmer the vegetables, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid and drain the vegetables in a colander. Force the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl or mash them in the bowl with a potato masher. In a food processor puree the celery root or the Jerusalem artichokes with the butter until the mixture is smooth and stir the mixture into the potatoes. Using the coarse side of a grater shred the carrots into the bowl and combine the mixture well, adding salt and pepper to taste and enough of the reserved cooking liquid to achieve the desired consistency. The puree may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE PURéE

Steps:

• Put the artichokes and potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the artichokes and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Pass the artichokes and potatoes through a ricer or fine sieve back into the saucepan. Stir in the milk. Season to taste with salt and place over low heat. Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Cook, occasionally swirling the pan, until the butter is brown and has a nutty aroma. Stir into the artichokes.

POTATO, CELERY ROOT, AND JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE PURéE

Steps:

• 1. Fill a large bowl with water, squeeze the half lemon into it, and then add the lemon half as well, Peel the potatoes and the Jerusalem artichokes, placing them directly in the acidulated water.
• 2. Bring plain water to a boil in the bottom of a vegetable steamer. Place the celery root in the top and cook until it begins to turn tender, 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook until the celery root is nearly tender through, 10 minutes. Then add the Jerusalem artichokes and cook until they are tender through, about 10 minutes.
• 3. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl, of to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough blade, and blend to a consistent but slightly chunky purée (do not puré them in a food processor or they will turn to glue). Add the butter and continue mixing until it is incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve piping hot.
