Monday the 7 th. celeriac (celery root)

[Guest guest]

I cut off top and bottom, peel off outer area, chop

and cook in soups. It will still look bumpy when you

peel. In the hot soup folder is my root soup recipe,

it's my favorite winter soup.

Make sure you don't pick up horseradish root in error.

That will wreck your soup.......LOL

I can confirm that Donna's Root Vegetable Soup is great - I made it

earlier in the year minus the fennel and barley and it tasted great

and also froze well.

 

I also made celeriac and potato mash. Here is a repost of the recipe:

 

Celeriac and Potato Mash with Goat's Cheese

 

150g/5 1/4oz(about ¼) celeriac root

1 large potato

lemon juice

600ml vegetable stock

80g/3oz soft goat's cheese

1 tsp chopped chives

Serves 1

 

Cut celeriac into large diced pieces and sprinkle liberally with

lemon juice. Bring vegetable stock to the boil and add diced

celeriac and peeled and chopped potato, turn down heat and cook

until soft. Mash potato and celeriac together with a little of the

stock, mix in goat's cheese and serve with green veg - I had mine

with broccoli and asparagus. My goat's cheese came with chives, if

not they would be nice added. Use leftover stock as a base for

Donna's root vegetable soup. I bet this recipe would also work with

tofutti or Swedish Soft(UK equivalent) in place of the goat cheese.

 

It is also worth doing a trawl of the group files as Chupa posted

some interesting celeriac recipes in January. In fact, back in

January, a certain person from Colorado told us that she had bought

a cookbook bargain which had a recipe for pureed celery root with

truffle oil. In great anticipation I rushed out and bought the

truffle oil, but I'm still waiting for the recipe, LOL. Perhaps you

could try that one and let us know, Deanna! (Can you tell my Inbox

is sorely in need of decluttering, LOL)
