Celeriac - really need some inspiration please!

We've got a big celeriac to use up from the veg box only to have another delivered this week!

Will celeriac and potato in the same meal be too carby and stodgy? I'm thinking of serving some with the haggis tonight.

What else do people do with theirs that's not just a potato substitute?

Thank you in advance.

We had celeriac chips last night.

Cut the skin off the celeriac, and cut it into chip shapes. Put the chips into a baking tray (I line mine with greaseproof paper to make sure that they don't stick) and drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil. Salt and pepper, and then into a hot oven for about 40 minutes. Turn them half way through. Keep checking them till they're nicely browned.

They won't go crispy like potato chips would do, but they have a lovely texture and flavour.

Or, you can make celeriac dauphinoise or celeriac boulangère, using the same recipe you'd use for potatoes.

Another favourite is celeriac and leek mash. This time, after you've peeled it, cut the celeriac into chunks, and boil in salted water till soft - around 20-25 minutes. Drain in a colander, and let the celeriac steam dry for a few minutes.

While the celeriac is cooking/drying, cut a couple of leeks into chunks and pan-fry gently in butter, till soft. Then put the celeriac back into the pan you cooked it in, add the leeks and mash/purée, using a stick blender. This makes a lovely alternative topping for shepherd's or fish pie.

It makes a nice soup

Meera Sodhas vegan column often has good and innovative uses for vegetables. Both of these look good but made neither myself. Hasselback Celeriac and Roast Celeriac with Chive Chilli Oil.

I've made and loved Ottolenghis 5 a day toad in the hole which includes a celeriac amongst other root vegetables.

Jamie Oliver has a nice recipe
I like celeriac chips and a soup!

Have you tried looking on the Riverford website? I find that a really good way of finding recipes to use the random veg they send me (tonnes of Jerusalem artichokes this week!).

It's very nice grated into coleslaw

AlisonDonut · 25/01/2024 17:33

I use it in soups and stir fries. As well as coleslaws. Lovely.

I make root vegetable tacos. Usually I just roast the celeriac in the oven with carrot. Sometimes add cauliflower if we have some. The veg are roasted with the usual Mexican type spices.

GrumpyPanda · 25/01/2024 17:42

I regularly do celeriac puree. Cube it, brown in butter and caramelize with some maple sugar. Add salt and braise with lid on, no extra liquid. Mash by hand so it's still a little rough and season with a small amount of chili flakes.

@GrumpyPanda that sounds delicious! I often mash with a handblender, butter and grated mature cheddar. Delicious as a topping on fish or shepherd's pie.
