Roasted Garlic Celeriac Purée Recipes

FIVE HERB MARINATED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GARLIC-FAVA BEAN SAUCE, AND CELERIAC AND POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• For the Chicken: Whisk together the olive oil, herbs and garlic in a large shallow baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a large saute pan or grill pan over high heat until just smoking. Remove chicken from marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sear each chicken on both sides, and place on a sheet pan. Place in oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until cooked through.
• For the Roasted Garlic-Fava Bean Sauce: Place stock and roasted garlic in a medium saucepan and reduce to 3 cups. Strain into a clean saucepan and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the butter and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the fava beans and cook for 1 minute.
• For the Celeriac and Potato Puree: Place the celeriac and potatoes in a large saucepan filled with salt water and cook until soft. Drain, rinse out the pan and run the celeriac and potatoes through a food mill into the pan. Add the butter, warmed milk and beat with a wooden spoon. When the mixture is smooth, season with salt and pepper and fold in the parsley.

ROASTED GARLIC-CELERIAC PURéE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place garlic in small baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cover tightly with foil and roast until golden brown and fragrant, about 50 to 60 minutes. Uncover dish and cool garlic, then squeeze softened cloves into small bowl and set aside.
• In heavy stockpot over moderate heat, heat canola oil. Add celeriac and sauté, stirring frequently, until starting to soften, about 8 minutes. Add water just to cover, raise heat to high, cover, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to moderate and simmer until celeriac is easily pierced with fork, about 20-30 minutes. Drain celeriac, reserving liquid, and transfer to food processor. Add roasted garlic. Turn motor on, then slowly add butter, 1 piece at a time, pureéing until smooth. Pureé should appear slightly thinner than mashed potatoes. If too thick, add small amount reserved cooking liquid, 2 tablespoons at a time. If too thin, add additional butter, 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper over pureé, then fold in celery. Serve immediately.
