Don't let the picture above scare you. It is actually something you eat and most likely will love. Celery root (also known as celeriac) is round, brown, and even hairy at times. But this ugly root vegetable also has a beautiful, mild flavor, like celery. It's starchy texture wants to be treated like a potato. In fact, we usually think of pureeing celery root, like we show you how to do in this blog post. But its versatility goes a lot further.     

As Shelley demonstrates in our latest video, you don't have to stick to just roasting or mashing this root vegetable.

Celery Root Puree

Celery Root Puree is the perfect accompaniment to Grilled Pork Chops with Pearl Onion, White Wine, Apple Cider and Mustard Sauce featured in our upcoming Wine Harvest Dinner. It goes just as nicely with the traditional Beef Bourguignon you'll learn to make in Celebrating Julia Child. The root vegetable also makes a lovely soup like Fall Vegetable Harvest's Celery Root and Apple Bisque with Thyme Croutons.
