Second Veg Box

[faustus]

I've cheated and looked up this week's box:

1/2 cauliflower
red potatoes
red onion
1lb salad potatoes
leeks
parsnips
srpout stalk
bunch thyme
little gem lettuce
1/2 celeriac
sprout top

Celeriac is the unknown quantity. I will have cabbage and potatoes left, but I'm out so many nights this week it's not been conducive to home cooking. Actual contents may vary.

I love celeriac, although it is possible to have too much. It tastes to me rather like mild, slightly nutty celery without the stringiness. It can be a bit tricky to chop, though - a big knife is needed for a whole one.

I like it made into celeriac remoulade (grate/chop into thin strips, mix with good mayonnaise, lemon juice and dijon mustard) or boiled and mashed with potato. You can roast it but it always takes longer than I expect and I prefer the flavour when it's cooked in other ways.

Thanks for the recipe - I'm not convinced I've ever had it. Maybe as a puree. Certainly never cooked it.
