Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium celery root (also called celeriac; about 14 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 fresh thyme sprig, plus more for garnish
1 garlic clove, crushed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small russet potato (about 9 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Put celery root, thyme sprig, and garlic into a small saucepan. Cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add 2 teaspoons salt and the potato. Simmer until vegetables are very soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain; discard thyme sprig. Transfer vegetable mixture to a food processor. Add milk and butter, and process until just pureed. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with thyme. Serve with a pat of butter.

This was the first time I've ever cooked with celery root, and I was really impressed. The puree was delicious and creamy, and I can't wait to try it with other recipes.

I've made this puree several times now, and it's always a hit. It's a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

This puree was a bit too thick for my taste. I added a little bit of milk to thin it out, and it was perfect.

I'm allergic to goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still delicious!

This was a great way to use up some leftover celery root. I added a bit of chopped parsley to the puree, and it gave it a nice fresh flavor.

The puree was good, but it was a lot of work to make. I had to peel and chop the celery root and potatoes, and then cook them separately before mashing them together. It was worth it in the end, but it's not something I would make on a weeknight.

This puree was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some other herbs or spices.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the puree turned out perfectly. It was smooth and creamy, with a nice balance of flavors. I served it with roasted chicken and asparagus, and it was a hit with my family.

This was a delicious and easy side dish. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, and they gave the puree a nice creamy texture. I also added a bit of garlic powder and onion powder to taste.

I'm not a huge fan of celery root, but I was pleasantly surprised by this puree. The potato mellowed out the celery root flavor, and the goat cheese added a nice richness. I would definitely make this again.

This puree was a hit at my dinner party! The celery root and potato combination was unique and flavorful, and the goat cheese added a nice tang. I served it with grilled chicken and roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect fall meal.
