I’ve been watching “MasterChef Greece” to improve my Greek, and I noticed they use a lot of σελινόριζα. I looked it up–it is celery root! So then I went looking for recipes and found this simple, yet delicious one. I’ve modified it from this original recipe to make an even healthier version. Enjoy!
Super Healthy Celery Root Mash!
Prep time:10 minutes
Cook time:35 minutes
Yield:Serves 3-4 as a side dish
Ingredients
1 pounds celery root
1/3 cup goat kefir (or non-dairy milk as a vegan substitute)
1 tablespoons coconut oil
Salt to taste
Instructions:
1Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer (1 Tbsp of salt for every 2 quarts of water).
2 Peel and cube the celery root, boil until soft: While the water is coming to a boil, peel the celery roots with a knife. Cut the celery roots into 1-inch pieces.
3 Drain the pot: Drain the pot and transfer the celery root to a blender.
4 Add the remaining ingredients to the blender: Blend until you get the desired consistency. Add more liquid if you want a thick soup. Add salt and pepper to taste.
This is a great dish for anyone going low carb. The goat kefir gives you probiotics. Coconut oil is more nutrient dense replacement for butter.
