Celeriac, if you have not come across it before, is a large bulbous-looking root - it is, in fact, the root of the celery plant with a coarse brown skin. It has the flavour of celery, but is a more manageable vegetable for dishes like this one. It also makes an excellent salad, served raw with a mustardy dressing.
Ingredients
- roughly equal weights of celeriac and potato
Method
Scrub the celeriac, and cook, unpeeled, in water till it is quite tender. Wearing rubber gloves (the peel stains), peel and mash it, then put it through a sieve. Mix with boiled sieved potatoes. Return to the pan and beat in a good lump of butter and plenty of seasoning - salt, black pepper, a little nutmeg - over a low flame. If you have any cream stir that in too.
