Celery Root Puree
1/2 lb celery root, peeled with a sharp knife and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 cup)
1 small garlic clove
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Simmer celery root, garlic, broth, and salt in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan, covered, until celery root is very tender,
12 to 15 minutes. Purée mixture with cream and butter in a food processor until smooth.
Celery Root Remoulade
from the Barefoot Contessa
2 pounds celery root
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup good mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Use a serrated knife to peel the celery root of all the brown outer portions, like peeling a pineapple. Cut the celery
root into thin matchsticks with a mandoline, or grate them in a food processor fitted with the coarsest grating blade.
With the food processor, press a little as you feed the chunks through and you will have larger shreds. Place the
celery root in a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and allow to
stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the 2 mustards, the remaining tablespoon of lemon
juice, the vinegar, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Add enough sauce to lightly moisten the
salad. (You may have some sauce left over.) Serve cold or at room temperature.
Whipped Mashed Potatoes with Celery Root
from Saveur Magazine
1 lb. celery root
2 cups half-and-half
8 tbsp. unsalted butter
8 sprigs thyme
3 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1⁄2" cubes
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 cup finely grated grana padano cheese
Freshly ground white pepper
1. Peel and cut celery root cut into 1⁄2" cubes and combine in a 2-qt. saucepan with half-and-half, butter, and thyme
and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until celery root
is tender, about 25 minutes.
2. Discard thyme. Transfer celery root mixture to a food processor and purée. Scrape mixture through a sieve into a
clean saucepan; keep warm over low heat.
3. Meanwhile, combine potatoes and 2 tsp. of the salt in a 6-qt. saucepan and add water so that potatoes are
covered by 1". Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat to medium low, and simmer until potatoes are tender,
10–15 minutes. Drain potatoes and pass them through a ricer into a large bowl. (For even smoother potatoes, mash
with a potato masher as well).
4. Transfer potatoes to the saucepan of puréed celery root and whisk in cheese until cheese is melted and potatoes
are smooth and hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
