Celery Root And Green Apple Puree Recipes

CELERY ROOT AND APPLE PUREE

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.

Bring to a gentle boil and simmer until the celery root is fork tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/4 cup milk, then return the celery root to the pot.
• Place the pot over medium heat and let the celery root dry out for a minute or 2. Add the reserved milk and mash or puree using a potato masher or blender until very smooth. Check for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary.

CELERY ROOT AND APPLE PURéE

Steps:

• Slice off one end of the celery root, making a flat edge so the vegetable doesn't roll around. Cutting in a downward motion, remove the outer skin until the root is completely peeled. Repeat with the other celery root. Cut into even, medium-sized chunks, then place in a stockpot along with milk and enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
• Peel and cut two apples into large chunks. Add to the simmering celery root, along with the caramelized onion, curry powder, turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Simmer until the celery root is completely tender, about 15-20 minutes.
• When the celery root and apples are soft and liquid has reduced a bit, taste; add more salt if necessary. Using a slotted spoon, add the solids to the food processor, followed by the liquid (to control the desired smoothness of the puree). Purée, then add butter and another pinch of salt; purée again until smooth. Cut remaining apple into matchstick-sized pieces; garnish purée with apple and walnuts before serving.
