Potato Substitute!

[grom]

Just made this and it tastes like yummy buttery mash!!

Celeriac Puree
Half large celeriac peeled and chopped
milk to cover

Simmer celeriac in milk until very soft (30 - 40 mins)
With a slotted spoon transfer celeriac to food processor and puree until smooth. Add a few tabs of reserved hot milk, a few squirts of buttery low fat spray oil, salt and pepper and whizz in processor again until smooth.

:bliss:

Sounds nice Grom, but what doe's celeriac taste like? x

 

[grom]

It tastes like potato to me with a little bit of a parsnip flavour - hard to describe but worth a try!!

 

[waynetta]

Yum I think I will, does it have the same texture too? Cheers Grom.x

 

[grom]

yes it looks just like mash!

 

[waynetta]

Cheers i will definatly give it a try, its just one of those veggies that i just would'nt even consider trying, partly because of not knowing what to do with it! x

its one i avoided doing until recently as well, but it made a great topping for a shepherds pie and is certainly one i would use again. I found it more fibrous then potato but then i did not add a lot of milk to it just mashed it instead of pureed.

I think cooking it in milk helps too - hope you like it!
