old father foodie Creamed Celeriac
I sometimes see people in supermarkets staring at celeriac, clearly wondering what you do with it. That’s not surprising. Celeriac has long stringy roots which give it a knobbly bottom and an odd internal pattern. Don’t be put off by the appearance. It is a wonderful vegetable and a perfect match for rich flavoured meat dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 celeriac
- 20g of butter
- 100ml water
- 1 sprig of rosemary
Method
- Peel the celeriac as you would a swede by removing the outer skin with a heavy knife.
- Dice the peeled celeriac into medium size pieces.
- Either finely chop the rosemary or leave it as a sprig. Your preference.
- Put the diced celeriac, butter and rosemary in a pot and add 100ml of water.
- Put a lid on the pot and cook gently until the pieces start to break up.
- Add a little more water if necessary to stop it sticking. Your aim is to evaporate the water as the celeriac cooks so that you end up with a nice creamy mash.
- When the celeriac is breaking up, finish it off with a masher.
- Season to taste
