Celery Root Purée

This silky celeriac purée is a sophisticated alternative to traditional mashed potatoes, offering a delicate, nutty flavour that pairs beautifully with roasted meats or seasonal vegetables. By simmering the celeriac and potato in a mixture of milk and water, the vegetables take on a rich, creamy consistency while keeping their bright, clean taste. It is an understated yet elegant vegetarian side dish that brings a touch of refinement to any dinner table.

Perfect for entertaining, this versatile purée can be prepared up to a day in advance and gently reheated before serving. The addition of a little onion provides a subtle savoury depth, while the fresh chives add a pop of colour and a mild onion note. Serve it alongside a Sunday roast or as a base for pan-fried fish for a restaurant-quality finish at home.
