Celery Root Hash Recipes

CREAMY CELERY ROOT MASH

Steps:

• Place celeriac into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Mash celeriac, sour cream, and dill together in a large bowl with a potato masher until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

CELERY ROOT HASH

Steps:

• Cook celery root, sweet potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, chicken broth, oil, and cayenne pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are just beginning to soften and liquid is evaporated, 15-20 minutes. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and black pepper and cook, tossing often and scraping up any browned bits, until vegetables are tender, 30-35 minutes. Remove thyme and bay leaf and toss in bacon. Serve topped with chives.

CELERY ROOT MASH

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop 3 pounds celery root. Place in a pot and cover with equal parts milk and water (about 2 1/2 cups each); add a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until soft, 20 to 25 minutes; drain. Puree with 1/3 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt, then add 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard and pulse to combine.
• TIP: Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.

YAM, CELERY ROOT & BACON HASH

Steps:

• Fill a pot with water, that is large enough to hold your yam without crowding.
• Add a dash of salt. Bring to a boil, then add your chopped yams. Cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until your yams are tender. They don't have to be all the way cooked through, as they will cook more when you saute them. Once they are cooked, drain them in a colander. Try to drain as much liquid as possible.
• In a large saute pan, cook your bacon pieces until crispy. Use a slotted spoon and remove the cooked bacon and set aside.
• Using the remaining bacon grease to saute your onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Then add your celeriac. Cook celeriac until soft. Celeriac is a thirsty vegetable and will absorb the bacon grease. If it absorbs too much of the bacon fat, then add some ghee to the pan, so the hash doesn't burn.
• Once the celeriac is soft, add yams and garlic and cook until yams brown slightly. Generously season the hash with salt and pepper and gently mix in the smoked paprika and bacon.
• Top with chopped parsley and serve!

APPLE-AND-ROOT-VEGETABLE HASH

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, and generously season with salt. Add celery root, and simmer 3 minutes. Add potatoes and sweet potatoes, and simmer vegetables 2 minutes more. Drain well, and spread vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet. Let cool 15 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium-high heat, and cook onions until translucent and just beginning to color, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the apples, and vegetables; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then press into a single layer using a spatula. Cook, undisturbed, 2 minutes. Stir, and repeat process until vegetables are very tender and beginning to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in sage, and season with salt and pepper.
