Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs Celery Root
- 1/2 Cup Chopped Shallots
- 1 Tsp Minced Garlic
- 1-2 Tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- 3 Cups Low Sodium Vegetable Broth
- 2 TB Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 TB Vegan Butter
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the celery root before slicing off the top gnarled fibrous roots and knobs. Use a vegetable peeler to shave off the brown outer skin of the root. Slice the shaved root in half before chopping the root into 1-inch chunks.
- Add the chopped celery root, shallots, garlic, and seasonings to a large soup pot on the stove.
- Pour in the vegetable broth so that the veggies are covered, about 3 cups, before covering the pot with a lid and bringing it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the veggies until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Carefully pour the hot liquid out of the pot, reserving about 1/4 cup of the broth to add back to the veggies.
- Add the olive oil and vegan butter to the hot veggies and use an immersion blender or potato masher to mash the boiled veggies smoothly. Adjust seasonings to taste before serving warm.
Notes
- Make Ahead of Time: You can make this entire dish ahead of time, making it ideal for the holidays. Simply warm the mash in a casserole dish in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or add it to a slow cooker on high for 2-3 hours until warm, then set it to low.
- Storing Leftovers: You can store leftovers in the fridge for 5-7 days and reheat servings as needed. To reheat individual servings, warm the mash in the microwave or in a pot on the stove of medium-low heat.
- Freezing Leftovers: You can freeze leftover mashed celery root in a storage bag or airtight container for up to 6-8 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating and serving.
