Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup 1/2-inch cubes peeled celery root
1 cup 1/2-inch cubes peeled parsnips
1 cup 3/4-inch cubes peeled russet potato
Coarse kosher salt
1/4 cup half and half, warm
1 tablespoon reserved pink-peppercorn butter (from Pan-Seared Strip Steak recipe ; optional)
Special Equipment
Potato ricer

Steps:

  • Combine celery root, parsnips, and potato in large saucepan; add enough water to cover. Sprinkle generously with coarse salt. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until vegetables are very tender when pierced with sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Drain well. Return vegetables to pan and place over medium heat, stirring constantly until moisture evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Working in batches if necessary, spoon vegetables into potato ricer; press into microwave-safe medium bowl. Add warm half and half and pink-peppercorn butter, if desired. mash until smooth. Season with coarse salt and black pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 hour ahead. Rewarm in microwave until heated through.

Tips:

  • Choose the right celery root and parsnips: Look for firm, unblemished vegetables that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Peel the vegetables before cooking: The skin of celery root and parsnips can be tough, so it's best to peel them before cooking. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin, or use a vegetable peeler.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender: Celery root and parsnips should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. This will take about 15-20 minutes in a pot of boiling water, or about 30 minutes in a steamer.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the vegetables: Once the vegetables are cooked, use a food processor or blender to puree them until smooth. You can add a little milk or cream to make the puree creamier, if desired.
  • Season the puree to taste: Season the puree with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a little butter or olive oil for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Celery root and parsnip puree is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or even a main course.
