Celeriac, often called "celery root," is now in season. Unlike, many other root vegetables, the taproot of Celeriac is only 5 to 6 percent starch. Next time you're at a food market, pick out a celeriac with firm and small to medium-sized roots. Smaller roots produce a more flavorful root taste. Once, you've purchased celeriac and your ready to eat it, you'll have to wash the root under water and slice off its tough, furrowed, outer surface. It's too rough to peel. Ah, the numerous dishes you can make with celeriac! I first encountered celeriac in a French dish called Céleri Rémoulade, essentially a celery root salad with a mayonnaise-based dressing.
Below are 8 delicious ways to prepare celeriac:
- Celery root remoulade
- Celeriac puree
- Puree of celeriac soup with glazed celeriac and curried apple
- 5 Peppercorn beef tenderloin with celeriac-potato cake fried garlic and baby spinach saute with basil oil
- Potato, celery root and stilton gratin
- Cucumber, celeriac and citrus salad with warm rock shrimp
- Chowder of scallops, celeriac, and potato with caramelized pear and roasted, crushed chestnuts
- Smoked salmon and celeriac dauphinoise
