Having decided it was not a crotte dropped by a passing flying elephant, I peeled it, chopped it and boiled it. Now to puree and eat with pheasant. But, I cant for the life of me thnik what it is in English? Be grateful for an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Celeriac ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yes, celeriac. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yes, I have just finished pureeing it and it is good. For diabetics it is to be preferred to potatoes. Must surely win the prize for ugly veggie?How does anyone cook it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 You can boil it and mash with potatoes or add it to a soup or casserole dish. I adore celeriac grated with a dressing of mayonnaise and and little oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 To do that it would have to be really fresh, but I will certainly try it.The one I have just killed has been eyeing me on the kitchen worktop for some time. Unfortunately it started doing some sort of Breton dance so I went into the attack, Chinese chopper blazing.I wonder what it is like pureed with bits of pork or ham in it?

Jonzjob Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I would think it would be a bit like celeriac with either some bits of pork or ham in it and delicious [blink][blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I have never eaten it cooked. I don't know why, it is just that I love it raw and grated, especially with that sauce crudité that you can buy in the supermarket, that I have never bothered to try and make myself.I love the flavour, so it should be lovely boiled or steamed and with pork or chicken, for some reason, I wouldn't fancy it with beef.

Lehaut Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 We slice and dice into sticks, oil, salt and roast it in the oven when we do a roast. Crisps up a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
