Equipment
- Knife and Cutting Board
- dutch oven or large pot
Ingredients
- 2 pounds celeriac about 2 large celery root
- salt
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup butter salted
- fresh thyme to garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the celeriac. Wash the celeriac thoroughly to remove any dirt. Remove the lower portion of fine roots with a sharp knife. Using a vegetable peeler or knife, remove the thin brown skin. Cut the peeled celeriac into large 1-2 inch [2.5 - 5 cm] cubes.2 pounds celeriac
- Boil the celeriac. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a rapid boil and add the cubed celeriac. Boil for 10-12 minutes until the celeriac is fork tender, and drain into a colander.salt
- Mash the celeriac. Add the celeriac back to the pot and use a potato masher to break down the chunks of celeriac into a coarse mash. Next puree the mashed celeriac to a smooth consistency using an immersion blender or by adding to a food processor.
- Cook down the pureed celeriac. Place the pot of pureed celeriac over medium-low heat and add the heavy cream. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes until the celeriac thickens. Add the butter and cook again until the desired consistency is reached. The heat should be low enough to avoid browning the celeriac. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh thyme before serving.⅓ cup heavy cream, ½ cup butter, fresh thyme
