Celery Root Mash

Celery Root Mash is unbelievably delicious!  This is my version of "mashed potatoes" and honestly, I would eat this instead of mashed potatoes any day.  It's super yummy, creamy like mashed potatoes and has just the slightest hint of celery.   

Celery Root Mash

This makes a wonderful side dish.  Make sure to make enough, I always want to eat the whole batch. 

Equipment: Medium Saucepan w/ Lid, Food Processor or Hand Mixer

• 4 cups celery root (about 3 medium), peeled, cut into 1" pieces
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups filtered water
• 2-4 tablespoons pasture butter (See Resources)
• 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt or to taste (See Resources)

1. Prep celery root - wash, peel and cut into 1 inch chunks.  

2. Add celery root chunks to the saucepan.  Add water, just enough to barely cover the celery root.  Cover with lid and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until fork tender.  

3. Strain water and place celery root into food processor.  Add pasture butter and sea salt, pulse until celery root becomes a smooth puree, about 1 minute.  

4. Serve hot or refrigerate for later.

Yield: Makes about 2 1/2 cups puree. 

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.  

Serving Suggestions: Serve with Pasture Roasted Chicken, Pot Roast, Grassfed Lamb Chops, Pan-Sauteed Fish, Sauteed or Roasted Vegetables or top with Homemade Gravy.  Use as a substitution for any meal with mashed potatoes.
