Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lb celery root (sometimes called celeriac)
4 Gala, Empire, or McIntosh apples (1 1/2 lb total)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Garnish: celery leaves

Steps:

  • Peel celery root with a sharp knife, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Peel and core apples, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Melt butter in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, then add celery root, apples, and salt and stir to coat with butter. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook (without adding liquid), stirring occasionally, until celery root is tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Purée mixture in batches in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes per batch. Return purée to pot and stir in cream, white pepper, and nutmeg. Reheat, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.

This puree was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less apples next time.

This puree was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time. Otherwise, it was easy to make and had a nice texture.
