Celeriac

Anyone else finding that the supermarkets have no celeriac at the moment??? Until I was diagnosed I never really paid much attention to it and only ever really had it at Xmas time, but now I want it and I haven't been able to find any for a few weeks!
 
I think that next spring I will have to buy in bulk and freeze portions of celeriac stuff to see me through the summer!
 
Asda still has it here . I tried freezing it but it was a disaster because it went all mushy but I hadn't blanched it first so I would try that and test it on a small amount first

I think I would make it into something and then freeze
 
My local Sainsburys has not had celeriac in for weeks which is a shame as I want to try making curly fries
 
It's out of season. Use some of the lovely stuff in season instead.
 
Not much else has the starchy feel to it though, unless you' like to give some suggestions!?
 
Not a fan of cauliflower mash, it's just so watery and bleugh!
 
Are you boiling it? Using frozen cauli? It shouldn't be watery
 
Yes boiling it, no other way to cook cauliflower to make mash?!

Steam it and keep a bite in it, mash it with a hand masher and not a blender - never have wet mash. If you don't have a steamer use a colander on top of a pan with a lid works just as well
 
I guess I will have to go and buy a steamer! (Don't think a plastic colander will work on a hot pan!)
 
A metal colander will be a lot cheaper than a steamer so you can try before you commit to an expensive steamer- I use one I steam a lot and don't have a steamer
 
We use the redundant pasta colander After mashing with the redundant potato masher and a tbsp olive oil, we stir in full fat Greek style cow's or sheep's milk yogurt with a tsp of horseradish sauce.

LOL! But I do find it a bit hard to believe that hell runs on microwave power rather than fire power....

However.... I am still a fan of his tool too for a lot of my cooking.

I think my husband may actually have bought some from Tesco's recently, but I believe it to be it seasonal.
