Peas With Celery Root Recipes

TRADITIONAL SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season lamb generously with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic to pot, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in wine, bring to a boil, and cook for 1 minute.
• Add browned lamb, stock, bay leaf, and thyme to pot. Bring to a simmer; cover, and transfer to oven. Cook for 2 hours. Add parsnips, celery root, and cipollini, and cook until vegetables and meat are tender, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, bring potatoes to a boil in a pot of salted water. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, and let cool slightly. Press hot potatoes through a ricer into pot. Add cream, butter, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until warmed through. (Alternatively, whip potatoes with a mixer until smooth.) Press a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer lamb to a dish, reserving sauce. Remove meat from bones, shredding it into bite-size pieces. Skim fat from sauce. Discard bay leaf and thyme. Return meat to sauce in pot, and add peas. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Spoon lamb into a 6-cup baking dish adding just enough sauce to moisten; reserve remaining sauce. Spread potatoes over lamb. Alternatively, spoon potatoes into a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch plain round tip, and pipe on top of lamb, covering surface. Broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with reserved sauce.

PEAS AND CELERY

Steps:

• In a microwave-save dish, combine the celery, onion, water and butter. Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. Stir in peas and lemon-pepper. Cover and microwave 4-6 minutes longer. Let stand for 4 minutes or until peas are tender.

SHEPHERD'S PIE WITH CELERY ROOT PUREE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the topping: Place the celery root in a large pot and add 2 cups chicken broth, along with water to cover and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the celery root is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and season with a teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, another minute. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour until incorporated, about 1 minute. Add the remaining cup chicken broth and reduce the heat to a simmer; cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• To finish the topping, reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the cooked celery root and set aside. To the pot, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Return the celery root to the pot and add half of the reserved cooking liquid. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth, adding more of the reserved liquid as necessary. (Note: If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is pureed and smooth.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the filling to a 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the frozen peas in an even layer over the filling. Spread the celery root puree on top, being careful to leave the layer of peas in place.
• Bake until the topping is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.

Puree in a blender until smooth, adding the reserved liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
