Last Thanksgiving, Susy Davidson, food editor of Food & Wine magazine, prepared this wonderful celery-root puree in the microwave oven. This cooking method makes for a richer-tasting puree.

Time 30m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 medium celery roots (each weighing about 1 pound), peeled and cubed into about 1/2-inch squares
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place the celery root in a baking dish, dot with the butter and cover. Microwave at high - stirring once -until the celery root is soft and gives no resistance when pierced with a fork, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Transfer the celery root to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cream and process until smooth. Taste for seasoning. (This can be prepared ahead earlier in the day and reheated.)

I've made this puree a few times now and I always adjust the seasonings to my own taste. I like to add a bit more garlic and black pepper.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover celery root. I had some leftover from making soup and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I'm glad I found this recipe because it turned out so well.
