Description

Celery Root Puree is a perfect side dish recipe for when you're looking for a Keto-friendly alternative to mashed potatoes.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large celeriac
  • 14g (1 tbsp) butter
  • 100g (2/5 cup) mascarpone cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the celeriac and cut into thin slices.
  2. Tip the celeriac into a pot of salted water and cook for 10 minutes or until tender.
  3. Drain the celeriac, then pop the vegetable back into the pot over a low heat for a minute or so to remove the excess moisture.
  4. Tip the celeriac, along with the butter and mascarpone cheese, into a food processor and blitz until smooth.
  5. Season to taste and serve immediately as a side dish to a main meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of mascarpone used to taste. Use more cheese if you prefer a creamier but sloppier puree. Alternatively, use less for a thicker consistency.
  • If you don’t want to use too much cheese, add a splash of water instead.
