Celery Root and Apple Puree image

I just watched Barefoot Contessa and Ina made this wonderful recipe that I think would be very good for our Christmas Eve dinner with the family. From her Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics Thanksgiving Countdown 2008 show on Food Network.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 lb unsalted butter
1 cup fennel bulb, tops and core removed, large-diced
2 lbs celery root, peeled and (3/4-inch)
8 ounces yukon gold potatoes, peeled and (3/4-inch)
3 golden delicious apples, peeled, cored, and (3/4-inch)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup apple cider, good quality
1/4 cup heavy cream
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a shallow pot or large saute pan over medium heat melt butter. Saute the fennel, celery root, potatoes, and apples with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften or about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and cover the pot tightly with a lid. Over low heat simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. If the vegetables seem to dry add a few more tablespoons of apple cider or water.
  • When the vegetables are cooked stir in the cream and cook for 1 minute. Using a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade process vegetable mixture. A food processor can also be used but will result in a smoother texture.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed than return to pot to keep warm until serving.

This puree was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some herbs or spices.
