Butterbean And Celeriac Mash Recipes

LENTIL SHEPHERD'S PIE WITH CELERIAC & BUTTER BEAN MASH

Steps:

• Boil the celeriac until tender when tested with the point of a knife, adding the beans for the final 5 mins of cooking. Drain and roughly mash with the cream cheese until the cheese is well mixed, but the veg is still a little chunky.
• Meanwhile, tip the lentils into a pan with the leeks, celery and stock cube. Pour in the red wine and 600ml water, and add the tomato purée and thyme. Bring to the boil, cover the pan and simmer for 20-25 mins until the lentils are soft and pulpy. Towards the end of cooking, add a splash more water if they are drying out.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spoon the lentils into the base of 4 individual pie dishes, then top with the celeriac mash, smoothing it to the edge of the dishes. Bake for 35 mins until bubbling and golden, then serve with a green veg such as broccoli, if you like.

BUTTER BEAN MASH

Steps:

• Drain the butter beans in a colander and rinse well.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions and gently fry until softened - around 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for a further minute.
• Add the beans to the pan along with the water. Season well and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender to blitz the beans into a smooth paste. You can alternatively transfer to a food processer (you may have to work in batches).
• Stir the chives into the mash and season to taste, if needed.

CELERIAC MASH

Steps:

• Place the celeriac cubes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 12 minutes. Add the potatoes, and continue boiling until the vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes more. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
• Return the vegetables to the pot, and stir over medium-high heat until liquid is no longer pooling from the vegetables. Remove from the heat, and pour in the cream and butter. Mash with a potato masher until almost smooth.

BUTTERBEAN AND CELERIAC MASH

CELERIAC MASH

Steps:

SPICED CELERIAC AND BUTTER BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Add the celeriac and mix ingredients well. Cook for a minute or so.
• Pour in just over half of the vegetable stock, and sprinkle in the cumin powder.
• Cover, reduce heat and cook for fifteen minutes, until celeriac is quite tender. Add half of the remaining stock, and leave to cool (roughly 30-40 minutes).
• Pour in the rest of the stock, then using a food processor or a hand-blender, puree the mixture to a smooth consistency.
• Transfer back to the pan, reheat and add the butter beans. Stir well, and season with freshly ground black pepper and a little cumin to taste.

CELERIAC AND APPLE MASH

• Using a fork, mash together butter and blue cheese in a small bowl.
• Stir into celeriac mixture.
