What You'll Need
Ingredients
- Celeriac - Celeriac is a root vegetable closely related to Celery, Parsley and Parsnips. It's often overlooked in Supermarkets (it's not exactly an attractive plant), but it's very versatile and incredibly tasty. It works well grated in a slaw, in salads, soups, and stews such as our Hearty Vegan Stew and Dumplings. As with all root vegetables, Celeriac is a very nutrient dense food that also contains a lot of Fiber. We would all do well to include more Root Vegetables as a regular part of our diets.
Equipment
- Sharp Knife
- Baking Tray
- Blender (we used our Vitamix)
- Saucepan
- Spoon/something to stir your final dish together
How to Make it
How to Prepare and Roast the Celeriac
- Dice the Celeriac in to 1cm cubes, toss it in oil and then spread it on an oven tray with a drizzle of Olive Oil. Then roast it for 20 minutes.
How to Make the Creamed Celeriac
- Transfer ¾ of the Roasted Celeriac to a blender, then blend until smooth and creamy, as pictured above.
- Transfer the Pureed Celeriac to a saucepan, add the remaining pieces of Roasted Celeriac and stir through.
- Put the pan on over a low heat, and warm everything through for 3-4 minutes. Stir regularly enough so that the Celeriac doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Enjoy!
Storage

Serving Suggestions
We love it with a roast dinner or sometimes even just on its own with some crusty bread. Another way we like to have it is with Stuffed mushrooms and homemade chunky chips.
FAQ's
Just add more liquid to the blender, 50ml at a time. If you find that you have made it too runny then it will thicken very quickly if you stir it in a saucepan on a low heat until you get the desired thickness.
