CELERY ROOT, POTATO AND APPLE PURéE



Celery Root, Potato and Apple Purée image

Classic celery root and potato purées combine two parts potatoes with one part celery root. I've reversed the proportion here for a lighter purée that also incorporates apple - the "secret ingredient." Rather than milk, I usually use the broth from the celery root and apples.

Time 30m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut in half
2 large celery roots, about 2 pounds, peeled and cut into large pieces
1 large or 2 small tart apples, such as a Granny Smith, peeled, cored and quartered
1/2 cup, approximately, warm milk or broth from the celery root
2 tablespoons butter or walnut oil (or a combination)
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in one saucepan and the celery root and apples in another. Barely cover with water and add salt to taste to each, about 1/2 teaspoon. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes, and return to the pot. Cover tightly, and allow to sit for five minutes to steam and dry out. Drain the celery root and apples through a strainer set over a bowl. Purée all of the produce using a food mill or a potato ricer. Stir together, and whisk in the milk or the broth until the mixture is fluffy. Add the butter or walnut oil to the hot purée, stir until the butter melts, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

CELERY ROOT AND APPLE PUREE

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup large-diced fennel bulb, tops and core removed
2 pounds celery root, peeled and (3/4-inch) diced
8 ounces Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and (3/4-inch) diced
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and (3/4-inch) diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good apple cider
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a shallow pot or large saute pan. Add the fennel, celery root, potatoes, apples, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Saute the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and tightly cover the pot. Simmer over low heat (I pull the pot halfway off the heat) for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft. If the vegetables begin to burn or they seem dry, add another few tablespoons of apple cider or some water.
  • When the vegetables are cooked, add the cream and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the mixture to a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade and process. (You can also use a food processor but the texture will be smoother than with the food mill.) Taste for salt and pepper and return to the pot to keep warm. Serve warm.

Kosher salt
1 large celery root, tough outer parts removed, cut into 1-inch cubes

Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the celery root and cook until both vegetables are fork tender. Strain the celery root and potatoes.

I just watched Barefoot Contessa and Ina made this wonderful recipe that I think would be very good for our Christmas Eve dinner with the family. From her Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics Thanksgiving Countdown 2008 show on Food Network.

Provided by lauralie41

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 lb unsalted butter
1 cup fennel bulb, tops and core removed, large-diced
2 lbs celery root, peeled and (3/4-inch)
8 ounces yukon gold potatoes, peeled and (3/4-inch)
3 golden delicious apples, peeled, cored, and (3/4-inch)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup apple cider, good quality
1/4 cup heavy cream
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a shallow pot or large saute pan over medium heat melt butter. Saute the fennel, celery root, potatoes, and apples with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften or about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and cover the pot tightly with a lid. Over low heat simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. If the vegetables seem to dry add a few more tablespoons of apple cider or water.
  • When the vegetables are cooked stir in the cream and cook for 1 minute. Using a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade process vegetable mixture. A food processor can also be used but will result in a smoother texture.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed than return to pot to keep warm until serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for this recipe because they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Peel the potatoes and celery root: Peeling the potatoes and celery root will make the soup smoother and more creamy.
  • Cut the potatoes and celery root into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is full of flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste until the soup is flavorful.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme add a nice flavor and color to the soup.

Conclusion:

Celery root, potato, and apple soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a winter meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try!
