Yield: 4 servings as a side
Active Time: 20 minutes Start to Finish: 45 minutes
For this recipe you’ll need:
2 celery root, about 1 pound each, peeled and cut into medium dice
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Water to cover
1 cup heavy cream, warm
Celery salt and pepper to taste
Place the celery root and sugar in a heavy pan and add just enough water to cover. Set over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the water has evaporated and the celery root is tender. Add a bit of hot water to the pot if the celery root needs to cook more.
Using a spoon, transfer the celery root and about 1/4 cup of the warm cream to a food processor. Purée the celery root, adding more cream if necessary, until you have a silky and smooth purée.
