- Cereliac gratin
-
- This is the best celery root recipe I know. Serves 8
-
- 2 lb celeriac, scrubbed & clean
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 scallions trimmed & chopped
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese (or other Swiss cheese)
- 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp paprika
-
- Squeeze the juice of the lemon in a large bowl of cold water.
- Peel the cereliac and cut it into 1/4-inch-thick slices. To keep
- them from discoloring, drop the slices into the water as you work.
-
- Drain the slices put them into a saucepan add the stock. Bring to
- boil and simmer over medium heat until the cereliac is tender, 10 to
- 12 minutes. Keep the liquid.
-
- Preheat the broiler.
-
- To prepare the sauce, first heat the oil in a small saucepan over
- medium heat, add the scallions and cook them until they are soft.
- (2 - 3 minutes) Whisk the flour, cook one minute. Whisk the milk.
- Spoon the liquid from the boiled cereliac and add it to the saucepan.
- Cook the mixture whisking constantly until it thickens, about one
- minute. Stir in the Gruyere, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
-
- Place carefully the slices of cereliac in a gratin dish. Pour
- the sauce over them. Scatter the Parmesan over and sprinkle with
- paprika. Broil the dish until the top turns golden - about 2 minutes.
-
- Enjoy!
