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.
Ingredients
- 1 large celery root, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 lemon, juiced, divided
- kosher salt to taste
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Recipe Tip
You can substitute milk for heavy whipping cream if desired.
