What's Celery Root?
As I get older I love to discover new foods, especially new plants! Celeriac, aka Celery Root, is something I discovered for the first time a few years ago when I received some in my CSA box. I had no clue what to do with it! It can look super overwhelming at first glance!
To prepare celery root
You can basically treat it like a very rough, bumpy potato. 🥔 First wash and scrub the outer layer clean, remove any visible dirt. Next, you need to remove that outer bumpy skin. I like to start with a hand peeler and remove as much as I can that way. Next I grab a sharp knife and carefully remove any bits that I could not remove with the peeler. You can alternatively do this all with the knife, just try not to lose too much of the "meat"!
How do you eat it?
Celery root is literally what it sounds like. It's the round, bulb-like, bumby, alien looking root of the celery plant! It has a slight celery flavor, but much more mild and a little sweet. It's great cubed and tossed into soups, stews, roasted and sautéed!
But purees and mashes continue to be my favorite way to eat celeriac and so I'm sharing one of my favorite twists!
Instant Pot Celery Root Puree
The Instant Pot really makes life so much more simple and it continues to be one of my favorite appliances in the kitchen.
Making this Instant Pot Celery Root Puree could not be any easier. Simply prepare your vegetables and toss them in your instant pot with vegetable broth and cook until nice and fork tender.
After allowing Instant Pot to natural release for about 10 minutes and releasing the rest of the pressure, add in remaining ingredients and mash or puree with an immersion blender until creamy!
