Risotto-style celeriac


Risotto-style celeriac
In this recipe, the celeriac is cooked rather like for a risotto: diced small, softened in olive oil with onion, then cooked in chicken stock.

The dish is finished with cream and maybe a little cancoillotte (or other creamy cheese). It is delicious on its own or to accompany meat.

Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 20 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Peel and rinse 1 celeriac, then cut into small dice.

There's no doubt about it, this is a tedious job, so use a mandolin if possible to make life easier.

Stage 2 - 5 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Prepare 1 onion and chop finely.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Pour 4 tablespoons olive oil into a large saucepan on medium heat. When good and hot, add the chopped onion.

Salt, pepper, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes without colouring.

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Add the diced celeriac, mix well and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Stage 5 - 1 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Add just enough chicken stock to barely cover, no more.

Stage 6 - 10 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Leave to simmer gently uncovered until the celeriac is tender.

If there is any liquid left after the celeriac is cooked, drain this off.

Stage 7 - 4 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Add 23 cup liquid cream, mix well and leave to reduce and thicken.

Stage 8 - 2 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Add ½ cup cancoillotte, mix again and cook for a further 1 or 2 minutes, then take off the heat.

Stage 9 - 1 min.
Risotto-style celeriac
Finish by adding some finely chopped chives.

Stage 10
Risotto-style celeriac
Your risotto-style celeraic is ready. Serve on its own or to accompany meat.
Remarks
You can miss out adding the cancoillotte in stage 8, or use another cheese if you prefer, either grated (Parmesan, Comté...) or a soft-paste cheese such as Époisse or Mont d'Or.

If you don't have chicken stock, use a vegetable stock instead.
Keeping
Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Home made.
