Valley Bounty, March 22, 2014: Celeriac
Celeriac looks just as you’d imagine a root vegetable would: bulbous and hairy. But peel off its rough skin and medusa-like roots to reveal a smooth, firm interior. Once prepped, celeriac can be grated raw to top a salad, roasted, or cooked and pureed. Crunchy or creamy, it offers a lovely celery flavor—good with local greens, other root vegetables, apples, and more.
Recipes:
Greenfield blogger Meggin Thwing Eastman has a good collection of celeriac recipes here. In some cases, celeriac is a supporting ingredient, and in others, it’s the star. Such recipes that are included on her site are: Nuoc Cham, Root Vegetable Hash, Soup and more!
