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.

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.

Prepare 1 onion and chop finely.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

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.

Add the diced celeriac, mix well and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Add just enough chicken stock to barely cover, no more.

Stage 6 - 10 min.

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.

Add 150 ml liquid cream, mix well and leave to reduce and thicken.

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Add 100 ml cancoillotte, mix again and cook for a further 1 or 2 minutes, then take off the heat.

Stage 9 - 1 min.

Finish by adding some finely chopped chives.

Stage 10

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.
