Celeriac Mash

I was very pleased with making this celeriac mash in my blender. It is very similar to making mashed potatoes. You peel the celery root and cut it into cubes. Then you boil it with a tablespoon of salt for 20-30 minutes until it is fork tender. Transfer the celeriac cubes into the blender with 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of water, a handful of shredded cheese, salt and pepper to taste, a pinch of your favourite herb and a tablespoon of butter. Puree it in the blender.

This is a great low carb dish.  Of course if you don't like the taste of celery you won't like celery root. 

A New Dish for Me

celeriac

Jan shared her delicious celeriac recipe the other day and I am so happy I tried it! It is delicious and perfect for my diabetic husband. Celeriac is celery root so it has the mild taste of celery and pairs so well with cheese and cream. Here is my version of the recipe:

1 celeriac
1 c of half and half cream
1 c shredded cheese (I had mozzarella on hand)
1/2 tsp italian seasoning (or other herb)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced garlic)

preheat oven to 350F

quarter the celeriac, it is really tough. then peel the skin off. then slice thinly.

line a casserole with parchment paper. layer the celeriac with cream and spices

bake 40 mins add cheese on top and bake for another 5 minutes until browned
