Celery-Root and Apple Purée

This elegant celeriac and apple purée offers a sophisticated twist on traditional root vegetable mashes. By slowly sweating the earthy celeriac with crisp, sweet apples in plenty of butter, the vegetables soften in their own juices to create a deep, concentrated flavour. The addition of aromatic nutmeg and rich double cream results in a velvety texture that feels truly indulgent, making it a wonderful vegetarian option for festive gatherings or special Sunday lunches.

As a versatile side dish, this purée balances savoury and sweet notes beautifully. It pairs excellently with roasted meats or hearty nut roasts, providing a lighter, more refined alternative to standard mashed potatoes. Because it can be made ahead and gently reheated, it is a practical choice for stress-free entertaining during the autumn and winter months.

Ingredients for Celery-Root and Apple Purée

  • 2.3kg celery root (sometimes called celeriac)

  • 4 Gala, Empire, or McIntosh apples (675g total)

  • 1/2 stick (60g ) unsalted butter

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 240ml double cream

  • 1/2 teaspoons white pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg

  • Garnish: celery leaves

How to make Celery-Root and Apple Purée

Peel celery root with a sharp knife, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Peel and core apples, then cut into 1-inch pieces.

Melt butter in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, then add celery root, apples, and salt and stir to coat with butter. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook (without adding liquid), stirring occasionally, until celery root is tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Purée mixture in batches in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes per batch. Return purée to pot and stir in cream, white pepper, and nutmeg. Reheat, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
