Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and dice the celery root into small pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Mince the garlic clove.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for about 1 minute, or until it’s fragrant and just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the diced celery root to the saucepan with the garlic. Stir to coat the celery root in the butter and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the celery root is very tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the celery root is tender, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the saucepan. Blend until the celery root mixture is smooth and creamy.
- After blending, return the mixture to the saucepan (if using a standing blender) and place it over low heat.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and heat gently, stirring constantly, until warmed through. Do not let the puree boil.
- Taste the puree and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
- Serve the celery root puree hot, as a side dish or as part of a main course.
Tips:
- Peel the celery root thoroughly to remove any tough and fibrous outer layers.
- For a smoother puree, ensure that the celery root is cooked until it is very tender before blending.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy whipping cream with half-and-half or milk.
- Adjust the salt to your taste preference as the chicken broth may already contain some sodium.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or white pepper to enhance the flavor of the puree.
- If you don’t have chicken broth, vegetable broth can be used as an alternative.
Celery root puree with garlic and chicken broth is a versatile side dish that adds a luscious and creamy texture to your meal. The combination of simple ingredients yields a gourmet-like flavor that can elevate any entrée.
