Ingredients for Celery-Root Purée with Truffle Butter

  • 1.4kg celery root (sometimes called celeriac

  • 2 large), peeled with a knife and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1925ml )

  • 800g boiling potatoes (3 large), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 240ml double cream

  • 110g black truffle butter* or 1 stick (110g ) unsalted butter

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoons black pepper

How to make Celery-Root Purée with Truffle Butter

Cover celery root and potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches in a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot, then simmer, covered, until celery root is very tender, about 15 minutes.

While vegetables are simmering, bring cream, truffle butter, salt, and pepper just to a simmer, stirring until butter is melted.

Drain vegetables in a colander and transfer to a food processor. Add hot cream mixture in a steady stream, pulsing until smooth. (Alternatively, mash vegetables with hot cream mixture using a potato masher.)
