Puree Of Celeriac Food

CELERIAC PUREE (CELERY ROOT PUREE)

Steps:

• Clean and peel celeriac root and cut into chunks.
• Place celeriac root chunks into a large pot of water with garlic cloves (there should be an inch or two of water above the celeriac, basically ensuring that it is fully submerged and covered by the water). Bring to a boil, cover with lid ajar and cook for 20 minutes or until celeriac is tender. Drain. Note: As you are cooking the celeriac, reduce the heat, if necessary, while still maintaining a boil.
• Meanwhile, combine heavy cream, milk, butter and salt in a small saucepan or pot over medium-low heat until warmed through (to remove the chill from the dairy so it doesn't cool down your celeriac when added).
• Place cooked celeriac root into a large mixing bowl, along with cream mixture. Use a hand mixer to combine everything until nice and creamy (alternatively, if you just want to rice and/or mash, that's okay too). Note: If your quantity of celeriac root is less that what was used here, you may want to use a little less of the cream/milk mixture.
• Transfer the puree to a serving dish and top with more melted butter and chives, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
