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.

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.
