Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized (about 2 lbs total) celeriac (celery root)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the celeriac using a sharp knife, removing the rough outer skin, and dice it into 1-inch cubes.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced celeriac and garlic cloves to the pot.
Boil the celeriac and garlic for approximately 20 minutes, or until the celeriac pieces are fork-tender.
Drain the celeriac and garlic through a colander, shaking off any excess water.
Return the celeriac and garlic to the pot and place it back over low heat for 1-2 minutes to help evaporate any remaining moisture.
Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the ingredients together until the mash reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, you can blend it further.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt and pepper as desired.
Transfer the celeriac mash to a serving dish and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement roasted meats, fish, or vegetables.
