Hi all, I found some celeriac today at a local produce market (not always easy to find this vege)
. Is the best way to just mash it with a little butter? Does anyone know of some other interesting ways to cook it??

Warm regards

Sandra
 
Hi Sandra,

You can roast celeriac - peel it, chunk it, toss it in a little oil with, perhaps, some seasoning, then roast it in the oven. Or you can mash it with butter and/or a little heavy cream, salt & pepper - it goes really well with chicken this way. Or you can slice it thinly or grate it and add to salads. It will discolour if left raw, so you could add a little viniagrette or lemon dressing to prevent this. It's also good when made into a gratin.

I love it!

Celeriac crisps are my favorite. Have to guard them or the family snaffle them before I get a look in.
 
I use celeriac in lasagne instead of the pasta sheets you can par boil it for a few minutes for a faster cooking time NB slice fairly thinly

Oh and try this, I posted this in the low carb recipes section

Celeriac Roesti

I hope I am not getting on peoples nerves by posting recipes, but despite low carbing I am still a proper foodie and want to share my personally tried and tested recipes.

Celeriac Roesti

400 g grated celeriac

olive oi/butter/ghee or a mix of both - whatever you want to use for fryingl

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves minced garlic

salt & pepper

1 good handful of grated parmesan cheese
_______________________________________________________________________________

Cut the onion and garlic, melt ghee/butter and fry on medium heat for approx. 10 minutes until onions are really soft, but do not have coluor.

Add the grated celeriac, salt and pepper, and stirring frequently cook further for 20 minutes until celery root is soft.
Allow to cool slightly and mix in the Parmesan cheese.
Shape this mixture into balls, place on a lined, greased baking tray and flatten slightly.Place in the oven and cook at 200 degrees for 20 minutes, until rösti is golden and crispy.

Serve these with a dip of your choice, but especially good is creme fraiche mixed with a little horseradish sauce or creme fraiche mixed with finely chopped chives or lemon mayonnaise.

Here are some photos for you to see what this dish looks like, totally YUMMY.

The Roesti sounds good! I'll have a go at that. Never had celeriac before. I'll try it with a chilli dip!
 
I use it in a lamb hot pot instead of potatoes, river cottage has a couple of nice recipes on it's website for dophinoise and a lovely soup. I can't tolerate it mashed or made into crisps for some reason - kills my stomach
 
I think celeriac chips are nicer than potato chips. I cut into strips, par boil, then put into smoking oil (just a little) in the oven. Yummy.
 
It makes brilliant chips if blanched a little before frying

PS
I sometimes make a mixed mash with celeriac and sweet potato. I've even been known to add a little REAL potato.
With gated cheese mixed in, this makes a good topping for cottage pie.

Oh my goodness, I have to tell you all that I have found the joys of celeriac!!!

I have had it twice, only mashed with a little butter and I have to say it is absolutely delish!!! Tonight hubby and kids enjoyed some mashed potato and I thoroughly enjoyed my mashed celeriac!!

One thing though, it is very expensive to buy here at between $4 and $5.00!!!! for one....
