To make this potassium-packed root seem familiar, here it’s prepared somewhat like mashed potatoes, but pureed for a nice texture.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 6
-
8 cups Celery Root (celeriac)
-
4 cups garlic clove
-
1/2 cup 2% Milk
-
1 1/2 tbsp Butter, Unsalted
-
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
-
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
-
1/2 cup Shredded Natural Swiss And Gruyere Cheese
-
1/3 cup Chives
DIRECTIONS
1
Fill a large saucepan about 2/3-full with cold water. Add the celery root cubes and garlic and bring to a boil over high. Boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
2
Drain the celery root cubes and garlic well. Add to a food processor with the milk, butter, mustard, salt, and pepper. Puree until smooth. Adjust seasoning.
3
Transfer the whipped celery root to a serving bowl. Immediately stir in the cheese and chives.
4
(Note: You’ll get 8 cups peeled celery root cubes from about 2 large whole celery roots. If you prefer, replace part or all of the celery root with potatoes.)
