Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7 ounces) celeriac, trimmed and peeled, cut into 2 centimeter chunks
- 200 grams (7 ounces) baking potatoes, peeled, cut into 2 centimeter chunks
- 650 milliliters (22 fluid ounces) vegetable stock
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 large garlic clove
- 12 teaspoons rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Finishing Ingredients:
- 10 grams (0.35 ounces) butter
- 20 grams (0.7 ounces) vegetarian hard cheese or Parmesan
Instructions
- Peel and roughly chop celeriac and potatoes into uniform chunks, then add peeled garlic cloves to a large cooking pot.
- Pour vegetable stock over the vegetables, ensuring they are completely submerged by the liquid.
- Heat the pot over high temperature until the stock reaches a vigorous boil, then reduce to medium-low heat.
- Simmer the vegetables for approximately 10-12 minutes, checking periodically for tenderness with a fork.
- Carefully drain the stock using a colander, then transfer the cooked vegetables back to the warm pot.
- Using a potato masher or robust whisk, vigorously blend the vegetables until they reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Incorporate softened butter, grated cheese, and tangy mustard into the mash, stirring thoroughly to distribute evenly.
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to personal taste preferences.
- Mix once more to ensure all ingredients are well combined and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Choose firm, fresh celeriac without soft spots for the best texture and flavor in your mash.
- Peeling celeriac can be tricky, so use a sharp knife and cut away the rough exterior in thick strips to avoid waste.
- For a lighter version, swap butter with olive oil and use low-fat cheese or nutritional yeast for a vegan-friendly alternative.
- Add roasted garlic or herbs like thyme or rosemary to elevate the mash’s depth and complexity, creating a more gourmet side dish.
