I had a handful of these "not lovely" knobs in my High Ground Organics CSA box this afternoon: celeriac or celery root. What they lack in aesthetics, they make up for in subtle, gorgeous flavor. I would say that they taste like celery mixed with parsley.
Ingredients
- 2 leeks, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 2 celeriac, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 T butter
- 6 C organic chicken broth
- 1 t celery seeds
- 1 C organic heavy cream
- 1/2 C shredded parmesan
Procedure
In a large soup pot, melt the butter in a splash of olive oil. Saute the leeks and celeriac until caramelized and softened. Add the celery seeds and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for an hour or so. Just before serving, stir in the cream. Garnish with the cheese and serve hot.
