  • 1 celery root, cleaned and cut into chunks OR 1 head of cauliflower (purple or orange), but not green, cut into florets
  • 2-3 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into quarters
    • Note: the size of the potatoes should be about the same size as the celery root/cauliflower
  • Sea salt to taste
  • White pepper, ground
  • Ground nutmeg, fresh
  • Heavy cream
    • Note: should have more cream than butter. Adjust to “fluffy” consistency

Description

Procedure:

  1. Bring generously salted water to a boil. Add celery root/cauliflower and potatoes to boiling, salted water and cook until tender (~15-20 minutes).
  2. Drain in colander, and let sit in colander for ~10 minutes.
  3. In a food processor, add veggies, seasonings, butter (2-4 tablespoons), and cream (2X amount of butter), grate fresh nutmeg, and pulse everything to mix. Add more butter or cream to increase creaminess/texture/taste.
  4. Pulse in food processor and check again for seasoning.
    1. Note: pulse until smooth, but do not overprocess. If you notice that the chunks don’t realy “process”, you might have to cook the veggies longer next time.
  5. For a smoother finish, pass puree through a strainer.
